I’ve owned several fiddle/mando combo cases. They all tend to be pretty heavy and bulky in my opinion. I think separate cases work best.

I have owned several Nuggets (10 if I count 2 Collings/Nuggets) 1 two point, 2 F5’s, and 7 A5’s, And have played dozens. My current one (#294 A5 Deluxe) is my all time favorite.
Sorry, the chair has sold.
Also, when buying, don’t fall for paying with PayPal “Family and Friends “ . At best, it only benefits the seller, and it leaves you wide open to be scammed.
I just treated a case with my cpap cleaning machine. It puts out ozone. I used the CPAP hose and put it inside the case with all the compartments open and put it in a big garbage bag. I ran the...
Royce Burt for sure. He does great work, his fiddles are fantastic, and his prices are very reasonable. There’s one in the classifieds now for 795. I’d jump on it myself if I didn’t already have 5 of...
75.00 was high for shipping, probably about double. I think some sellers inflate shipping to pad their profit margin. I took that into consideration when I made my low ball offer.
I used hide glue in all the cracks, etc.
Quick follow up. I got it on Friday. After some thought and a consultation with my friend Charley Nelson, I decided not to spend any more money on it, but instead, fix it as good as possible myself....

I now longer have it. I think it’s living in Alaska now. Gary Price told me that he used the shell from what he calls “the flying wedge” banjo case. I sold it since I no longer travel. I think...
I offered $225. and it was accepted.
I agree. I have 2 that were given to me, and they are stashed away in a closet. I do agree that they change the tone, but my Nugget does just fine on its own.

This is my double case made by Gary Price. He calls it the flying wedge.
I have owned six of them, none had that marking.
I totally agree. It’s worth 3% extra for the protection. I also use a credit card through PayPal for double protection.
I’ve playing mandolin for 45 years. Never used one, or felt the need for it. But to each his own, some people like all the extra gadgets. I don’t think it will affect your playing either way.
Do you read music (notation)? If you do, work on sight reading and try some of the more difficult stuff like Bach cello suites, etc. . If you don’t read music, why not work on learning to? There’s...
Yes, I bought another one that I couldn’t live without
Nice looking Kalamazoo. I currently have 4 km11’s , 2 of the early square peghead versions and 2 with the “rooftop” peghead. One of the rooftops has a fixed bridge, the other has an adjustable...
Judge Judy calls it “puffing”
Grisman and Thile use their 4th finger all the time. I’d say that they are “advanced” players.
