| Aeternum is an innovative re-interpretation of the classic violin case of the early 1700s, with its straight-sided, rounded-end design that experts think may have been invented by no less than Antonio Stradivari. The instrument is placed at a slant to make more room available for accessories. Interior of the Aurem version is Italian silk velvet + glove-quality suede leather + satin The overall effect is of utility and modernity, but with just enough classic detailing and craftsmanship to make it truly special. Ingeniously curved structural partitions increase strength and room for accessories while lending the case a unique grace. Fully hand-made in limited numbers by Dimitri Musafia and his assistants in Cremona, the Aeternum remains a timeless design for an ever-changing world. The Aureum version of the Aeternum Series 5 reaches an almost incredible level of style, quality and detail with softest Italian leather lining, contrasting stripe bottom padding (similar to that in the Enigma), "Sunrise" pattern satin lining, and as a final touch - 14 discreetly situated Swarovski crystals to hide otherwise visible screw heads (the crystals can be deleted if preferred without). The Aeternum and Aeternum Aureum available for violin and for viola. Design and Construction Shell Revolutionary and exclusive hybrid Kevlar® and wood laminate construction.
