    Where should I look to find a hard shell case for a bowlback Washburn circa 1890?

    Thanks in advance.

    The only place online I've seen a hardshell bowlback case is Hobgoblin-USA (look in the Mandolin-Spares section). I recently picked up one of these chipboard cases from Elderly, but my mando is in the shop, so I don't know yet if it fits.

    I am sorry i missed this posting. There was discussion in the classical section. Lark in the Morning has this same case, as far as I can tell, for $60. I would confirm the price with them. I know there is no photo but that is the one I got some time ago and it is decent. It will not be a snug fit, so you have to put a cloth in so it does not rattle around. Aside for custom cases tho it is your only option for a new one.
