The original case with my 1919 A-2 is getting pretty beat, so I ordered a Superior CD-1521 case on Amazon. It arrived today, and I found that it's an exceedingly tight fit. I understand that it's new and the foam will probably compress, but this just seems too tight. I have to work to get the mandolin in, and when I go to close the top, it wants to stop when it's still about an inch open, so I have to push it down to get it closed. I don't like the idea of putting pressure on the bridge. Anybody out there have any experience with one of these cases and a Gibson round-hole model from the late teens? Does the foam eventually adjust and the fit loosen up? Thanks.
