No, not another discussion about case vs stands vs wall art devices.
I say go with whatever makes you happy, its your mandolin.
Back story: new to the forum, but been readin articles for years. I am a lefty (strike 1) guitar convert (and 2) and have been playing mandolin 6-ish years. I live alone, so do not have the obvious children/ pet/ general business other households have.
I do like to play mandolin, alot. A case is just a pain to drag out and go through the process. My house is 112 years old with 10 ft ceilings, so dust is present as an understatement, making wall hangers and stands (I have both for guitars and mandolins)not the best option: I despise playing a dusty instrument.
I can't claim credit for this, its a plagiarized case for guitars I saw in a video.
I scored a high end, second hand 2 drawer file cabinet, some foam rubber, cheapo crushed velvet, and the obligatory electric knife. I used spray glue (no patience for sewing.)_
It will fit both lefty and right handed mandos by design (didn't want to leave my kids an albatross.)
Now they are super-handy, clean, and well protected.
Total cost: well under 200 bucks.
