Rather than allowing the instrument to rest directly against the rigid exterior shell, strategically placed padding helps isolate and protect the violin during transportation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuspension is an especially desirable feature for musicians carrying valuable instruments because it adds another layer of protection between the violin and everyday bumps encountered while traveling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is the Subway Handle?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esubway handle\u003c\/strong\u003e provides an additional way to control and maneuver the case in crowded or confined spaces.
