I would like to buy a hard soprano case to travel with that is light, very compact, and can fit under an airline seat. Does anyone know of a hard case that is not so much longer and wider than a standard soprano uke? My Mainland soprano is 20 3/4" long, with a lower bout width of 6 1/2".
I love the MAX case that I have for it, and it's great for travel since it's light and even has backpack straps. (It's actually been a godsend to have the backpack straps since I've been on crutches with a broken foot!) But it's 26" long and won't fit under an airplane seat. I've not had problems putting it into the overhead, but I do get nervous about somebody possibly moving it and throwing a heavy suitcase on top of it. My mind would be more at ease if I had a case just barely larger than the uke for plane travel, and could put it under the seat in front of me. Suggestions welcomed!
