Really nice case for my hand made F style mandolin. Well built, sturdy arch top, great padding, snug fit, big pick box, good hardware, and thanks to a thick pad in the lid that lines up with the NECK, not the bridge, there is zero contact between the bridge and lid, yet the instrument is held in place firmly.My only complaints are:1. The little feet on the back edge made the first one I ordered sit crooked and would topple over easily. I ordered a second one in hopes this was just poor QC, and I was right. The second one sat much more square and sturdily. (I still added extra feet of my own to make it even more stable, but it was a marked improvement even with out my addition.)2. The glue where the interior padding is where’s to the walls of the case is visible, and even slightly separating, in a couple places. Not a big concern but just a small indication that again the QC of these might be somewhat lacking.Overall, it’s a great case!

Absolute garbage. I thought this was going to be a great case for my new mandolin, And although my mandolin fits perfectly, within a day the inside case padding made a velvet started separating from the wall of the case. That’s not acceptable And indicates that the case was made very cheaply. I would avoid it and purchase a better quality case. I recommend the fiberglass case that comes in different colors, And also more expensive, you get what you pay for. But I would avoid this particular case. It’s cheap and it’s not put together very well

Poor hardware latch alignment that caused bent guides where all 3 upper and lower clasps join. Top also doesn't fit well on case body. I could not get case to close without twisting and squeezing the top to force it to close. I was very disappointed with the case. Amazon took it back, no problem getting my money back.

The case is sturdy, but the padding is a mess. It's so tall you have to press the lid closed to compress it, even without the instrument. The piece under the neck is way too tall, so the back of the instrument doesn't even lie in the bottom of the case. One latch is crooked so it has to be pushed all the way to one side to close. Definitely not what I was expecting for the money.

I bought a very well used mandolin and needed a case. The original was shot from so much road wear. I thought about buying a really expensive case but the Mandolin is such a light instrument I didn't really need one. This one works just fine an is really a good value.

He devuelto el estuche ya que para mi The Loar LM-700 es demasiado justo, había que apretar un poco para cerrar la tapa.Por otro lado se ve robusto, y la estética es buena, tanto por fuera como por dentro, pero a nivel de acabados está un poco justito, se ven algunos pegotes de cola de impacto.Habiendo en el mercado productos que valen el triple entiendo que no se puede exigir que esté impecable, pero el acabado me parece un poco insuficiente por un estuche de más de 80€. Con todo, si la mandolina cabe bien cumple perfectamente la misión de protegerla.

Excellent fit for a Kentucky KM-1000. Great value for the money. inside compartment is a bit small, but it's a small case as well. Well padded, great body and neck support, tough outside Tolex, comfortable old style leather wrapped handled and high quality latches and hidges. Nice.

This item was rubbish. The padding was not right for an F5 mandolin and lining poorly fitted, handle in wrong place. Carcass was good. take a pride in your work for Gods sake and make sure it fits an F5 mandolin. Ashbury could be good but they need someone who knows what they are doing fitting the lining and padding. Put a mandolin in the case and see the angle the present handle holds the case, it's wrong.

Very nice case. The mandolin fits perfectly and the interior is very well padded with nice materials. The latches are high quality as well. I would buy it again. It has a nice little box for storing extra strings and picks.

I ordered this case for my Eastman 615 F-style mandolin. Arrived in perfect condition and is an excellent fit for my instrument. Very well padded in all the right place and excellent heavy-duty construction and hardware. I'm very pleased with this case and it should provide years of sound protection for my Eastman.I highly recommend this case - an excellent value!
