The calton mandolin case shows a significant improvement in headstock storage space. The right is made in 2007 and the left is new in 2019. I've often heard that scrolls have broken in the past.Attachment 187622

I'm told yet another F-5 case update is forthcoming: a slightly larger shell that adds 1" of width (1/2" per side) to provide more peghead scroll and body point clearance.

The dictionary definition seems to refer to the "amount" as being the determining factor in calling something splatter or spatter. And, in the "case" of the brown case, it appears to have both..........:cool:

Re: Calton Cases - in pictures
These are all so cool, ... I wish I could justify/afford one.... but then thats a case that costs from half to 3/4 the price of my most expensive instrument!

Maplebaby, thanks, I did that myself, with some help from and old Bluegrass Unlimited magazine, a copy machine and an old fashioned projector. I made a transparency of the logo, projected it onto my case and then painted it. I don't know whether that "Bluegrass" is still available somewhere or not.

Thanks for taking time to respond, I think it looks fantastic and makes your case a true original!
Re: Calton Cases - in pictures
That is awesome. Monroe would approve, no doubt.
