Is the Hoffee case cushioned, like the Casedillo, or more of a fabric cover? I like the extra padding and thermal protection that the Casedillo seems to have.

I inherited a car with a terrible mold/mildew smell. I tried the ozone route, but didn't find it really worked. However, I used chlorine dioxide and it worked wonders. Search chlorine dioxide odor...
Good morning, y'all. I'm looking to get a case cover for my Hoffee. I have a Caseadillo cover for my Calton which is quite nice.
Does anyone have experience with the Hoffee covers? Especially in...
So, I checked the accuracy of my scale. A can of regular Coke, per the University of California Santa Barbara, should come in at 384 grams. Across several cans and several tests, my scale came in...
Mark Leaf, maybe?
This is not another post about wanting a lighter case, etc.
I decided to see what the cases I have actually weigh. So, I got luggage scale from Wish (I don’t know its accuracy, but it does seem to...
So, I've just acquired this exact mandolin. And Doug, it has one of your armrests on it. What a small world. It's been knocked about a bit (with a cleated repair along the back seam) and has had a...
I do. I like the sound of my mandolin more when it's one. I also find it makes it a bit more stable on my body.
I recently went down this rabbit hole (see here) and found that I just couldn't get the crossrock a/f fiberglass to fit any of the 3 A models in the house (Collings MT, Breedlove American, and...
Is the Eastman case still available?
It has raised pads at the mandolin’s three o’clock and nine o’clock. These pads are on the bottom and on the lid. There is also a pad on the lid above the neck block.

I do mean a handle at the headstock end. I like that I can hold on to the instrument without taking up much space beyond my body. I'm less likely to bonk the case into something.
So, over the years, I’ve had multiple cases and asked a lot of questions. However, those discussions often fall into things like: get a Travelite, Mike Marshall uses one for his Loar; if you care...
Good evening everyone.
I have a Collings MT with a Tone-Gard. The Collings TKL case isn't deep enough and puts more pressure than I'm comfortable with on the bridge. I have Calton case that works...
I have both on my Collings MT (McClung OTP). The fit is fine in a Bobelock arrow and a Calton.
It feels more like a lightweight tenor banjo than a guitar, if that makes sense? I have a long torso (6'6"), so it's best played with a strap for me.
I have mine tuned GDAE using the GDA strings...
I have the Ibanez. I like it. It feels a bit overbuilt maybe? But it's not so much a fair comparison, with the Ibanez coming in about half the cost. It is also a different body style. I picked the...
So, they took waverly guitar tuners, and ground them down to fit?
I’ve been A/B-ing a bunch of picks recently. And as much as I used to like Primetone picks, they have a clicky/plinky sound on the strings that I don’t think I noticed until I started using a...
My new fiddle tune is The Boy on the Hilltop/Johnny Goin’ to Ceildih, performed by Tommy Peoples and Paul Brady. Down a half step from their recording
If you're not 100% on the black finish, an American Breedlove or a Rigel could fit your specs. The Breedloves all have wide nuts (to my recollection) and some Rigel's do. This Rigel (NFI, just a...
The MT's have gone up a bit in price nowadays, especially with a gloss top and a wide nut...might luck into one on the marketplace...
I've found that it certainly is regional. Many ceili players are a bit more machine gun playing...in order to drive the dancing. I've been influenced by players (who are influenced by Clare and...
I would also add that Irish trad doesn't really follow time signatures perfectly. Meaning that a jig isn't 6/8 with six equally spaced 8th notes with the first and fourth accented. When ITM gets...
Could be a Clayton Ultem teardrop. They start to look like that after a while.
