I've been looking for a hard case for my Monkey Wrench solid body tenor and it looks like the Ko'olau CE-1 case might work. Just wondering if a CE-1 owner could take a few minutes and get me some dimensions (either for their uke or their case).

I'd like to know...

1. Overall length
2. Length of body area
3. Width of lower bout
4. Width of upper bout
5. Depth

Thanks!
 
I'll try to measure mine tonight post it if no one beats me to it.

Thanks...I'm guessing the upper/lower bout/length will be the same but I think the depth listed is for their regular tenors...not the CE-1.

George, if you wouldn't mind getting those measurements I'd really appreciate it!
 
CE-1 dimensions (the uke, not the case):

Total length: 26.5"
Upper bout width: 7"
Lower bout width: 9-1/8"
Body length: 12"
Body depth: 1-3/8"

The case is pretty much a custom fit, so I think the above dimensions should help you.

Well, no luck. My Monkey Wrench's body length is about an inch longer and an inch wider in the lower bout. Too bad because the depth is perfect! Betting the baritone CE-1 case would fit though...might have to check into that with Ko'olau. Thanks for your help everyone!

That's too bad. The extra inch in total length probably would have been OK in the Ko'olau case, but the extra inch in lower bout definitely wouldn't work.
