How long is the banjo from head top to body bottom? Will it fit in most standard banjo cases?

Other reviews stated that a standard case was too small for it so I followed another reviewers suggestion here and bought a case from Amazon. The Carrion C-2901 Fretted Resonator Banjo Case. It fits perfectly in it.

I'm not going to lie, it is challenging. I had an open back banjo to start and then I purchased the Deering banjo. I love the Deering banjo. It makes a different, higher quality sound. I definitely get frustrated sometimes when I'm learning new rolls, licks, and songs but I just try to break the songs down into small portions and repeat them over and over (which is basically the crux of banjo playing I'm told). I think you'll enjoy the Deering and if you end up not sticking with it I'm sure there would be a very good resale value for it. Hope that helps!

Mine measures 28.25" inches from top of headstock to bottom of body. However, if you add in the 0.5" strap button, the total length is 28.75",

I found mine at Musician's Friend for $59 - it's quite study, has more than enough room and if anything deserves a pricier banjo! Quite happy with it (and the banjo, btw). do a search for "Musician's Gear Durafoam Shaped Banjo Case"

Case will fit any resonator banjo... (not open back banjos)... with up to a 14-1/4 inch resonator... which is pretty standard for a resonator banjo. If your resonator is 12-1/2 to 14-1/4 (which almost all resonator banjos are)... this case will work great. I have Deering banjos and this case fits the Deering banjos perfectly. It's also not made for the unusual... Pete Seeger LONG NECK banjos... or anything out of the ordinary. Banjos with out a resonator would SWIM in this case.... as the resonator adds inches to the diameter of any banjo.

The stand holds a guitar perfectly. If the banjo is the same as a guitar it should fit.

The case is made to fit a 14"resonator.If you want to use it with out you should use foam rubber to fill in the gap around the banjo.

This is a full-size banjo. As to if it's too big, I was about to answer yes, but then I thought of the Sleepy Man Banjo Boys, and I guess the answer is... not necessarily.

Hi the instrument is about 28 and 3/4 it does not fit in the original case , I had to buy a Lanikai Baritone Uke case in order to be able to transport the instrument.

As far as I know this case should accept any 22 Fret Plectrum or 5 string banjo.

I measured 42", from top to bottom, and 16" across, at the body. I think the width of the neck was just at 7". It will work for both strats and lps, but I can't recommend it for general use. The padding is very thin, and if you set your axe down hard, sideways, you can hurt the body. I bought several of these for storage here at home, and would never use one for gigs. But the case is well-made, so I suggest you spend the extra $10 and get the higher ended model. The company is fine...

The overall length from the base of the body to the tip of the head stock is 31.25 inches. The length from the base of the body to the nut is 25 inches. The length of the neck (from the nut to the 19th fret) is 13 inches. Hope this helps!

The overall inside measurement of my case is a tight 41 inches.The neck area is 21 so I guess not.This is a very nice case tho.I have a 5 string banjo in it.

26 inches (stuff like this is on the spec sheets)It will fit under the arm of a 'banjo'

I actually did not get a soft case, rather I had an old cardboard type case for a standard 5 string banjo and use that. It should fit in most standard banjo cases.

bonnie - I am having the same problem. most banjo pots are heavier. all banjos need to be fit to your style of play. your 2nd purchase should have been a strap. string or button connectors. a must. you don't want to attach the strap to the neck. need to find spot on the pot. does not have to go where they mounted the loop holes. I check my mail about every 3 weeks, sorry. I've made more changes. nice piece

If it's a regular bluegrass model and not a "long neck", it should. "Left handed" doesn't change the dimensions, just the setup on the banjo.
