Any help would be swell!
Recently, Eddie Blevins made an octave mandolin for me. Very early in the process, I started looking for a case. I wanted a quality case because the custom instrument was a sizable investment. Well, no one makes decent quality cases for mandolas or octaves. Eddie and I decided the best option was a Cedar Creek case. Eddie supplied the dimensions of the octave to them and I gave them my options (color, lining, handle, closures, etc. They shipped it to Eddie, he filled it up and shipped it all to me. It's a great case...a little heavy, but very sturdy and protective. If nothing else works, try Cedar Creek.
