Todd,

The usual parlor cases are quite big for the size 5. You might check with Cedar Creek. I have a couple of their custom cases. They can build just about anything, though there's been a wide range of satisfaction with their service.

If the parlour case on their site is made in Canada, I can pretty much assure you its for a Martin size 0 - because the factory got the sizings for that from a friends 1929 0-18K, and then started making that size - its now a stock item for them. The factory might make something smaller - I would have to call my rep to see ...

They have a 0 case and a parlour case. Not sure what the parlour size is. The cases are indeed made in Canada I think, same place where TKL cases come from.

I've gotten the Tamarkin parlor case for my size twos. It's just a little loose for a 2 and I had to add a thin layer of foam under the padding. It's basically the cheaper TKL model with no arch and the solid plastic handle. Might not be fancy enough for some customers but it's a functional case.





I had Cedar creek make me a custom case for the twos and they are beautiful.

Todd...I ordered two parlor cases for the Terz 5 parlor built from the Antes plans about 4 years ago. Check with Dennis and mention my name. No reason you should have to pay for a custom setup...they should have my pattern available.
