Aloha UU!
As you may have read, I picked up a Martin Tenor with original hard shell case a couple of weeks ago. I've been playing it and it is marvelous. Anyhow, in my joy of aquiring such a fine specimen, my brain was not fully functioning. I kept using the original case. Last night I noticed a new, very tiny, surface finish scratch (that may buff out). I have been so careful with it that my conclusion is it must have occurred when putting it in or taking it out of the case.
So, it is now a priority to find a modern case to take care of this awesome instrument. My priority is on protection with a desire for a pocket big enough to carry sheet music. Unfortunately, these seem mutually exclusive. My budget is <$100, so no Ameritage for me. Right now I am favoring the Oscar Schmidt Tenor case.
I have no ukulele resources near me, so I don't know if my Martin will fit nicely in that case. I am looking for your expertise to guide me to a nice case that will fit this uke, keep it safe, and perhaps have a pocket for music. Anyone know of such a case? Thanks a ton!
