A few months ago I purchased a used Round Peak 12" banjo. It came with a TKL case. I have had the banjo out the entire time I have owned it, and since I purchased it I added a leather strap. Tonight, for the first time since I bought the banjo, I tried to put it back in the case (had to get it out of the way so we can get the carpets cleaned). The banjo fits very snug in the case, but there is no way to get the strap around the banjo and have it fit in the case. The strap ends are looped around the head hooks and so the strap is not easily removed. I love the strap, so I'd rather get a new, bigger case than change the strap. Does anyone have any case recommendations for a 12" Round Peak, that would leave enough room for the banjo and strap? Thanks in advance!

That is, if there is enough room for the strap ends to fit between the rim and the case. I had a Round Peak with a circle strap, and I think this is what I did, but it may have been a case for a resonator banjo. The above also assumes the strap width won't put strain on the head when stored underneath.
