My daughter picked up her violin case the other day, and soon after
found she was holding just the handle :=((

Anyone know where replacements can be obtained? Someone suggested I
try Maplins, but I don't have a paper catalogue and can't see anything
in the online version.

Maplin - they sell bits for making stage PA gear, including cabinets.

A music or DJ shop, selling stage PA gear.

Isaac Lord, purveyors of knobs and handles to the gentry.

Almost any half-decent hardware shop, so long as you don't mind a cheap
moulded plastic bail (the swinging part).

A real cobbler / saddler, who can sew you something far better and more
comfortable than the usual issue (not a problem for violins, but worth
it on heavy suitcases).

What sort of handle is it ?

Does it have leather straps ?

if so, just replace them
