Show us some pics of your mandolin cases without the mandolin

Here's what I use for my Weber Sweet Pea. Works pretty good, too.

I found this case which originally held some kind of scale. Some new foam and fabric, and it's a great mandolin case.

Here's the interior of my home made. No mando, but the cat sure likes it.

DC, is that a breif case in the pocket by the tuner?

Original case for the mandolin pictured in my avatar.

Yes you do darryl.

**sgarrity** · Aug-13-2008, 2:15pm

Does a Loar live in yours?

**JEStanek** · Aug-13-2008, 2:21pm

I don't think Darryl really meant we are losers... A Loar case is pretty sweet by nature of what it holds. I'm a tad crushed velvet green with envy.

#I've got a case that is identical except it has a BLUE interior.

Actually, I have seen one and only one blue Loar period case. #It really looked cool with the darkish blue velvet similar to my green one. #It disappeared under the radar with a 1924 F4 to F5 conversion by Charles Horner. #It originally housed Fern 84684

Of course this is not a contest

You need to step back a bit here. I think you're taking this wrong, Darryl doesn't talk down to anyone and his comment was received (at least by me) in the rather jovial spirit that it was intended to be received in.

**Darryl Wolfe** · Aug-13-2008, 2:45pm

I think "45ACP" made his post (pulled the trigger-ha pun) before reading my second one. #We are all cool and there is no contest here (see above)

I certainly did not mean to sound condescending

So what's the story with these Presto Mandolin cases? That looks like a really nice case. Where does it fall in the price and build spectrum?

**Jim MacDaniel** · Aug-13-2008, 2:59pm

I find the lack of padding under the end pin in the Loar period case interesting. I remember a thread on the Bobelock fiberglass case a while back, in which a similar lack of end-pin padding seemed to be a sticking point that would keep many from considering buying a Bobelock (well that, plus that silly outline of a mandolin on top of the case). But then again the Bobelock could be considered a travel case -- and I would imagine that a Loar owner would tend to be very diligent about not dropping their instrument, whether it was in their hands or in its case.

Darryl... a number of years ago I traveled to Michigan to check out a Feb.18 Loar and while the mandolin was the most terrible sounding Loar I ever played it WAS housed in a gorgeous, "cornflower blue" lined case... what a fantastic color! Never seen another one like it...

TKL Zero Gravity, good for an A, 2 point, or F style.

quote "DC, is that a breif case in the pocket by the tuner?" Hey Ron...it is a little business-card holder, made like a mini briefcase or hard shell mando case...
