need a case for a 43" mountain dulcimer

General mountain dulcimer or music discussions

A good solution emerged. A luthier who I've bought a couple of guitars from offered to be the go-between with Ameritage so I could get his dealer discount. With the shipping the case will come in around $400 ...still a bit more than I wanted to pay but I own a few cases by Ameritage and they're very good.  I sent along a tracing and the padding will be form fitted to the dulcimer. My Edsel Martin is as much a piece of folk art as it is a musical instrument so I'm happy to have a case on the way that will give it the protection it deserves.

Thanks for the well-intended suggestions.

I appreciate the suggestions but I'm really only interested in a hard-shell case that I can buy somewhere. If the Cedar Creek case turns out to be my only option, I'll go that way.

Hi folks, new guy here. I own a few mountain dulcimers, and one of them needs a hard-shell case. It's a 43" long by 7" wide Edsel Martin teardrop. I've looked all over the internet but I can't find a case that's long enough. Back about 15 years ago, Cedar Creek built a case for my other Edsel Martin and charged me $200. I inquired with them on this one and they want $500 now. I'm hoping to find a less expensive option. Does anyone here know of either a case that would fit or of a place I could order a custom case for a more budget friendly price?
