Does anyone have any info on what hardcases are available I have just bought a Jena Long neck fitted with a resonator so the standard open back version is not an option. Any help would be appreciated

	darwinyarwin says: 3/27/2015 1:44:08 PM I had the same question a while back, Steven. A good tip I got from group members here was to call Elderly Music. They have the ability to order custom size TKL cases for you. Less expensive than the Gold Tone.

A well kept secret is that the dreadnought case fits a longneck, you need some packing, but the balance when carrying is good. You need some packing inside. I bought a bass gig bag for my longneck, extra padding.

	kwfolk1 says: 3/31/2015 2:01:13 PM For what it's worth... Back around 2002, I purchased a Goldtone Case for a resonated longneck from either Elderly or Mandolin Brothers because of a reduced price. I use padding for an un-resonated longneck. Several years ago, I purchase 2 TKL Longneck cases from Elderly. From what I can see, the Goldtone case may have been made by the same outfit as the TLK cases. The construction appears to be the same. Any info would be appreciated.

	Old Gray Coat Linked by Bluesage 7 months ago: My first attempt at working out this great Tony Rice composition on the open long neck. It lays our pretty well!

MP3: What Would The Prophets Say? Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The religious basis of authority in the Middle East (or anywhere for that matter) is the source of a lot of suffering and is unsustainable. The violence is mostly perpetrated on women and children.
MP3: You'll Never Leave Texas Alive Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A sad murder ballad of a sort. Some murderers wear nice clothes and use pens and paper to kill and never see their victims.
MP3: Ten Years On Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A lament, written for the 10th anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting. Sadly there are still parents who are irresponsible or foolish, and parents who suffer as a result.
MP3: Shutdown The System Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The pursuit of money is alienating, enervating, and exhausting. Here’s a song of resistance to finance capitalism.
MP3: Take The Wheel Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A song about mentorship, inspired by my mentor and HIS mentors too, that takes the form of the story of a ship’s mate being “shown the ropes”. The old sea captain may also have been a long-neck player
