Nice and sturdy
This is a nice and sturdy mandolin case that will keep my mandolin very well protected.
Well Made but Extremely Small
Look… I love the construction of this case. It's very sturdy, the latches are great, and it's well balanced to carry. However, this case is so small, you can't even fit an extra set of strings in it. So keep in mind that if you are looking for a quality case to protect a valuable instrument this will perform well, but you will need to keep your extras in another place (tuner, strings, instrument cloth, etc.). My Grady F5 barely, and I mean barely fit, but I think it will work. Make sure you measure your instrument precisely before ordering this one (which I did not). I think I got lucky it worked out!
A Great Hardcase!
This case fits the mandolin very well and has just enough room for the strap as well which is great to not have to haul around separately. I'm pretty clumsy on most days honestly and I dropped the case with the mandolin inside and nothing happened but a little scratch on the case itself! Overall great product!

Great case
I recently bought a vintage Washburn F style mandolin and needed a case. I found the SKB and made the purchase and couldn"t be happier, my mando fit like a glove into the case. Great protection, great case. If your looking for the best case for your prized mando, buy this one you"ll love it!!!
Mandolin case
I was happy to receive this new case to protect a valued instrument. I"ve been happy with other SKB cases I own so why be anything other than happy with my purchase? Great case, except that the accessory compartment is really small, not leaving much room for things like a strap, towel or extra strings, and the fit at the head of the instrument is pretty tight. The foam around the A and D tunner buttons must be compressed to get the head into the case. I"m not sure if it"s by design, or a flaw, but once in the case, the mandolin seems pretty secure. The case is comfortable to carry, and overall, I"m happy with my purchase. As always, purchasing anything from Sweetwater is easy, the sales engineer are awesome people, and the service is top notch.
