Where to find a gig bag for a bouzouki (26.50 inches scale) ?

I looked on-line and I found nothing apart from super expensive hard cases.
Could a banjo gig bag be an option ? Thanks.

yeah i use a banjo bag.

I use a banjo bag as well.

But it seems to me that banjo bags are too large at the bottom ? A banjo drum with resonator is bigger than the lower body of a bouzouki, and I am afraid that the bouzouki will "rattle" inside the gig bag ?

Mine doesn't.

Boulder Alpine makes banjo gig bags for both resonator and open back banjos, with slightly smaller diameter for the latter. These are terrific cases... well appointed with good straps and handles and loops, covered zippers, good padding and pockets, choice of 3 colors. Elderly sells them. I recommend you measure across the body of your bouzouki (and the depth of the body as well) and give them a call and see if they can help you figure out what will fit your instrument. They are about $50 new.

FWIW, I have a spare one of these kicking around that has been VERY lightly used. I think it is the larger bodied one. I bought it for my B.Dean OM, but found a heftier case that I find myself using most of the time. If you're interested, send me a PM. I'm sure we can work something out.
