Been pretty happy with my Weber and TKL cases, but I travel quite a bit and kept thinking I would be more comfortable about taking one of my good mandolins in a Calton case. #I was lucky enough to get the marigold (dark yellow) one that was on the classifieds recently (thanks Rodger). #Got here yesterday, and WOW what a nice case. #Perfect condition with a green lining. #I think their standard cases are F style, but my A's (Weber and Flatiron) fit perfectly. #My Eastman 604 (big body, short neck) does not, but that's OK. #The Calton is just so nice - everything about it seems right, and I can't imagine any harm coming to my mando in this case. #Wooooo, the marigold color is super - with all the color options available I am surprised that most of them are white or grey. #Not much room for anything else inside, and I can see how a large peghead might be a tight fit, but my A's just snuggle right down in there. #Happy new Calton case owner.

Glad you like yuor spoefish. I got one off the classifieds last year myself. A white one and its worked out real well. I use it for three different mandolins, an F9, a Rigel A+, and a two point Spicewood and they all fit nicely.
