Re-conditioned vintage pressed-card cases (if available) @ 35 euros

   These old pressed card cases should suit most normal bowlbacks. They will have been carefully re-conditioned, but there will inevitably be signs of age, and damaged seams will be tidied with duck-tape, but I ensure that there are working catches and a good handle, though types may differ from the photos. I line with fur fabric (red, blue, yellow, green and gold as available) and cushion the neck and the bridge areas particularly.

I am sometimes able to acquire close-fitting wooden cases as shown below. As above they will be refurbished, but there will inevitably signs of age, but I ensure that there are at least working catches and a good handle. These cases must be carefully fitted, and will not automatically fit all bowlback mandolins. They may or may not be relined, depending on the 'fit' of the instrument.

I have recently been asked to make a couple of cases for different styles of mandolin, which do not fit in the traditional case shown above. So I am now happy to make others in the traditional pressed card style to order, but do this I will need some careful measurements.
