I need a solid case for a mondola. Mine is 31 inches long, 12 inches wide, 3/4 inches deep and tennis bat shaped. I believe somebody makes them for around £200.

It occured to me that a case made for some other purpose may do the job. I phone Slazzenger to see of they make hard cases for tennis bats but they do not. Has anybody got any other suggestions?

thanks a lot Greenman,

I will check that out. But I still have this probably mistaken feeling that a kipper crate or an olive oil can will do the job in an eccentric (?)and cheaper way

Try an old viola case. They are quite common.

I carry mine in a banjo case around £50 from most music shops.
