Banjo cases must match banjo type — the wrong fit damages the resonator.
Banjo types
- Open back: lighter, old-time sound.
- Resonator: bluegrass, heavier.
Case requirements
- Fits the rim diameter.
- Headstock recess.
- Interior padding for the flange.
Choosing
Measure your banjo before buying; resonator models need deeper cases.
