Has anyone found an acceptable hardshell case fir the Eastman Octave yet. The custom case options are too costly.

There does not seem to be a case for the octave, I have a Golden Gate case for my Blueridge tenor. I cut memory foam, making a piece for under the body, another rolled up to support the neck, ans a third piece which wraps around the headstock. It is very secure and will be used until a beter solution is found.

Dennis (The Mandolin Store) told me the Trinity College case will work but it’s “a sloppy fit”. Maybe it could be modified to make it better? I think it’s more or less a stock tenor banjo case.
