i have the original case, but would rather put the mando in something better and less, shall we say, ratty?
does travelite make anything that would fit it? it doesn't fit in my travelite f-case.

How wide is the body? In looking for a case for my Kalamazoo A and after reading about the problems people have had getting cases for the IV Kit A I am well aware that A cases come in 10 inch wide and 10 1/2 inch wide. You could also look at one of <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Tweed-Mandolin-Hard-Case-Hardcase-For-A-F-Frames_W0QQitemZ7420770922QQcategoryZ41403QQ

On an unrelated note, do you know John Cleveland?

The TKL "A" style cases, black or tweed seem to work well.

I use the Eastman A case for my '25 Snakehead.

My 1925 A-4 fits in a stanard travelite F case. It is a little snug but a good overall fit.

John Cleveland? Brooklyn? Bass player?
I lived next door to him ... Washington Ave., Bklyn.
Is this enough for a fan club?

I always introduce John B. Cleveland as "the man with the biggest instrument on the stage". He plays with me at times in New Jersey. He's a great bass player. I noticed you guys were playing some of the same venues.
A fan club? Great idea. We could pitch in and buy him a new hat and scarf.

The Eastman A style fiberglass case fits my '24 Ajr like it was made for it, but that style is no loner available. You will have to find one used or old stock.
