    Default Hardshell Case for Eastman Octave

    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.
