FYI: From my previous post I mentioned,
I guess Ozark doesn't sell cases with their banjos?
When I initiated my Ozark Custom banjo in May 2018, the base price for their banjo build was $1700 with no mention of an included hardshell banjo case or gig bag. Now, a recent check of the Ozark website, reveals the base price is now $2200 including a hardshell case but doesn't mention what brand. I just purchased a Superior Deluxe "Bump-Style" 12" Openback Banjo Case from Elderly Instruments for $187. Thus the current base price for the actual Ozark banjo is now about $2000 or a $300 increase in 4 years.
