5 String open back case.

From beetlegeist on 3/15/2011 9:00:24 PM

I could just ask my local store but since I do not have a local store I will ask here.  Can anyone tell me if there is a solid hard case available for my 5 string open back Goodtime banjo?  I would like one made by the Goodtime company if they make them.  Has anyone any idea how much they might cost, where to buy one from and even a brief idea how they look?

If you want a Deering hard case it may cost you as much as the Goodtime did. Check with Zepp at zeppmusic.com/frameset.htm and then on left side look under "Other Things" and click cases. If any questions give them a call. Great people...

That would be an awful lot of money. If that is the case I would have to settle for any just as long as it held my banjo safe - especially in the hold of a plane.

Ahh...my question exactly...maybe I have to buy a case to travel back to Argy....you cant carry it on? I have carried on my classical guitars before with Delta...never a problem.

Check with Banjo.com when you purchase your banjo they should have hard cases that aren't too expensive.

Hi Dave,

Did you succeed in finding a decent hard case that wasn't as has been said almost as dear as the banjo? I am looking for a hard case at the moment, and would prefer a slmmer one for open backs. I have found that Ozark does one and Hobgoblin music (UK based):

Osark: eaglemusicshop.com/details1.as...-Case.htm

Hobgoblin Ashbury open back case:
hobgoblin.com/local/GR3772_p_A...-page.htm

Anyone else based in the UK who's found a slimmer than normal hard case for their Goodtime?

I would like a hard case but all I have so far is the gig bag that came with the banjo. I don't travel much and if I do it is by vehicle.

I ordered mine when I ordered the Banjo from Guitar ctr, "Musicians Gear Deluxe Hardshell Banjo Case Regular" . They threw it in with the banjo. Not fine but nicely built and sturdy, I did make a pillow for under the rim and one to add better neck support. Very happy with it.
