Mandolins and banjos have unique body shapes that generic guitar cases cannot serve. Here is what to stock.
Mandolin Cases
F-style and A-style mandolins need shaped hard cases with carved interiors. Fiberglass and wood hardshells are the premium choice; padded bags cover student models.
Banjo Cases
Banjos (especially with resonators) are deep and round. A dedicated banjo case protects the rim and tone ring. For gigging, reinforced semi-hard bags with banjo cradles work well.
Line Recommendations
- Student: padded shaped bags
- Intermediate: semi-hard with instrument cradle
- Professional: fiberglass/wood hardshell
Our mandolin and banjo molds include F-style, A-style, open-back and resonator banjo fits. Ask for the fit template for your instrument model.
