Re: $750 Collings mandolin case at elderlys
Just for the record folks, i pulled a damaged Gilchrist out of an undamaged Calton that was in a sea of bubble wrap in a cardboard box. The box dropped on end and the mandolin slid enough in the case to knick the northern-most tip of the back on the underlayment of the accessory box (stuff under the plush). The knick resulted in a back separation. Not making this stuff up. It was the mint green Calton that Gruhn used for the Model 1.
How can it be a flight case when it couldn't protect an instrument that was not only in the case but also in a shipping box?
I travel with my a3 in the original case and a small-dog cover. I know I tried to tell this story earlier, but it was a bit overlooked.
f-d
