Re: Case Cover Or Super Protective Case?
Even a white case will not help a huge amount in a hot car for an extended period. They are excellent for reflecting direct, radiant heat for a certain period (they still get hot eventually), but they have limited value against ambient heat, as in a car. I would also (having worked in CR myself) not even think about leaving a valuable instrument (or anything else valuable for that matter) in a car at all. In addition to heat, as already mentioned, the humidity at times can be incredible. It is not a good environment for a fine mandolin. It is a place where a Carbon Fiber mandolin would be perfect (provided you can protect it from the ever present risk of theft). Personally, I'd be looking for a low cost, but decent sounding "beater" for that trip!
