Re: Looking for a case for a 1909 H2 Gibson Mandola
Good point, but if the body fits, one can usually finesse extra neck length.
The Gold Tone and Trinity College mandolas are flat-tops, and I wonder if the carved-top H-2 wouldn't have too much curvature, so that the bridge was mashed a bit by the case top.
I'd be perhaps looking at a banjo-family case, though the body shape's not the same. Good luck, in any case (pun intended).
