I need to find a mandolin case for a Tonewood TS100. The Music Room don't think any of their cases will fit as it is quite deep. Does anyone here know of a case that will do?

How deep is your Tonewood Manitas ? I may know of one.

I suppose I should have measured it before posting! I'll get back to you tomorrow. Thank you.

Not familiar with that model.

If it is an A style then the rigid foam A cases from Hobgoblin are quite deep. My Kentucky KM-505 sits in one with a ToneGard on it and has plenty of depth to spare.

Yes, I've got a print-out of their page. What is A style and F style?

A style is the more common 'teardrop' style mandolin. F style stands for 'florentine', the style introduced by Gibson early last century with scrolls and points on the body and a fretboard extending over the body. As in Gibson F2, F4 or F5 models.

Ah, then it is an A style mandolin.

I have one of these for my Fylde Touchstone mandolin:-

Ashbury A-Style Mandolin Case from Hobgoblin

Very nice case, and not overly expensive.
