Need a soft case for an oddly-shaped octave mandolin
I figure the CBOM section is probably the best place for this given the range of shapes and designs out there...
I got this Wishnevsky octave mandolin and it has a sort of teardrop shape, but the top of the teardrop goes halfway up the fretboard on one side.
Anyway, I need a case that will fit it. I live out in in the boonies with no shops around that might have this kind of thing. Any suggestions on a soft case that will fit it? I was thinking maybe an octave mandolin soft case, but I've never owned an octave mandolin before and I don't know how tightly fitting the cases can be.

Guitar gig bag. Go to one of the MC sponsors and talk to someone with instrument and tape measure in hand. Might not be snug but you can always use towels to pad it.
