After much searching, I am no closer in my search for a 'smaller, cheaper than a top line case' compact fibreglass mandolin case. In Australia, there appears to be nothing available other than plywood varieties. The Hiscox being made in the UK is not stocked here. The Bobelock (is the 'Arrow' still available?) violin cases are available but not so their mandolin case.
Hence my question; is there an alternative to the plywood case which is covered in a black heat-absorbing material? We have temps here of over 80F (26.7C) here in the Winter so Summer is going to be interesting unless I can source a heat reflective hard case.
My present player is a late 20s Gibson A0 but there will be a new one (same size) soon which will be needing a case.
