[Ivan Kelsall]

I just had a look at the Guardian website. It's interesting to note that their 'Professional' & 'Professional De-Luxe' Violin cases,are of the wooden construction,Ballistic Nylon outer covering type ??,

I have had the prototype in my hands and it was an excellent case. It was as good as the Calton and I was very excited about its arrival. I did not get any of the first shipment and considering this thread, I am glad. However, Music Link is very concerned about putting out a good product and they do respond to what is needed to correct these kind of problems. Any time (and these have been rare) there is a problem with their product they are very quick to resolve it and take care of things. I expect to see the next shipment to be much improved. I was very excited about the prototype case and I do believe they will do a great job.

Someone posted they thought the prototype was a Calton with some alterations. Not true. It was a guardian. I know Calton's very well and the prototype was not a Calton. However, it was a very nice case and if the end product is even close to the prototype you will see a wonderful case at a wonderful price.

If it's been mentioned here I apologize but the photos of that "flight case" don't look like something that would be ATA approved. Are they ATA approved?

any of the dealers, or users, know if the problems have been ironed out yet?

They are working on it. There have not been any more of these available yet though.
