My recently acquired Duke 10 Banjo Uke will shortly be on its way to a new UU owner, since I didn't need two banjo ukes. But before I pack it up I wanted to share a tip with anyone looking for a good case for their Duke 10. It does come with a gig bag, but it would provide no protection for the head, and it wouldn't really be safe to transport that way without popping out the bridge. I've looked, but I haven't found any hard cases that accept a 10" hoop.
On a whim I tried putting the Duke 10 in the Reunion Blues RBX Tenor Gig Bag that my Farallon came in.

It's a pretty good fit, especially since the sides are held quite snugly, so that the hoop can't slide around, and there is a good inch or two between the top of the bridge and the case lid. Not perfect, but much better than the stock gig bag.
