* The only U.S. manufacturer of chipboard cases has notified us that they will no longer be manufacturing any chipboard cases.  We will continue to look for another source but are not optimistic; the manufacturer said they do not know of any other companies in the US currently making a chipboard case.  For this reason, the remaining bass, baritione and AJ sized chipboards we have in stock will only be available for purchase with the dulcimer.
