Small hard Cases

Jerryc41 · Jun 21, 2019

I have an Ohana sopranino and a sopranissimo, both pineapple shape. Do any of you know of a hard case that would be a good fit for these? Uke Republic has small cases for traditionally-shaped ukes. I wrote to Mike asking if a pineapple would fit comfortably.

Mike, from Uke Republic, replied. There are no hard cases for the little pineapples. I'll keep using the soprano cases.

The pineapple sopranissimo came with a well padded bag that, though not as padded as the uke crazy hard foam cases, is considerably more cushioned and protective than a gig bag. With proper care, it should be fine. I have traveled extensively with mine.

You might be able to just add padding to a soprano hard case. A small foam cervical collar might work...

I think that's what I'll have to do for the sopranissimo. The neck block/storage box is back a bit too far, so it interferes with the headstock. I hate to chop up a good case, but I'd like it to fit better.

The sopranino is held in place with a Velcro strap on the neck, so that's not a problem. When you think about how small the market is for small pineapples, it's not surprising that case makers don't spend their time on them.

That's odd. There wasn't much in it, but I moved everything out.

If I move everything out of the In Box and to a Saved folder, does that still count as mail in my box?
