Thanks for the tip Brad.

But I went out to the Praiseland Music site, the company that makes these gigbags and they have them listed as Baritone ukulele cases.

I guess they would work.

I'd like to find a padded gig bag for my Gibson EH-100 but it's about 34" long.

When looking for a gig bag to haul two laps to gigs I came across a Goldtone tenor banjo bag from Elderly. It is 35" long and actually holds TWO laps if you place a pad between them. My laps are guitar-shaped and are 22-1/2" scale 32-1/2" long by 10-1/2" wide. Good choice for a gig bag if you don't mind the round shape and embroidered Goldtone logo; it looks like you're carrying a banjo. That's good... banjos are not high on the list of desirable things to steal.[This message was edited by Randy Cordle on 31 August 2006 at 05:30 AM.][This message was edited by Randy Cordle on 31 August 2006 at 05:31 AM.]

Definition of perfect pitch: when you toss an accordian into the dumpster and it lands on a banjo...

I just bought a really nice gig bag made by Ritter - Designed for baritone uke, but my Ricky's fit in it perfectly. A little too short for my Champ and Gibson B6. The nice thing about it is the plethora of pockets and compartments, plus it is super well-padded. Even has a compartment for an MP3 player, 2 handles + backpack straps (even has a belly band!) Listed on ebay - just search "baritone ukulele". Good price for the quality of the item.

Fender makes a gig bag for their Squire mini-strat that works very nicely as well.

I bought a Gig Bag for my D-8 from Musician's Friend. It is a 49-Key Keyboard Gig Bag, with some padding, which measures: 36" x 14" x 5". It works great and only $29.99.

Does this have any possibilities?

Here is a picture

Aloha,

Don

Alright, I play Cajun accordion, banjo, AND lap steel. (No, not all at the same time...)Which one do you throw in first in this case? Now I just need to add bagpipes and saxiphone to my list of accomplishments...

So, did anybody get one of these bags?

Reviews?

Too short for a Sierra SL8.
