Re: Case for Martin A mandolin
Wish I could assist you. My Style A came in a great wooden case, heavily built, arched top, thick padding and green plush lining; not a perfect fit -- a little bit of wiggle room, but still quite protective. But no brand on it, just a "made in China" sticker. It was obviously designed with a Gibson A-model in mind, but works fine for the Martin.
I'd only suggest that you visit a dealer who handles A-model mandolins, and see if there's one of his cases that is "close enough" to work for you. All the original cases I've seen listed, are being sold with Martin mandolins. A heavily padded A-model case might be as close as you can find, unless you luck into a used original.
