Need help in finding case, or building one
I am looking for a hard case for my dulcimer. The only ones I have found are custom built cases that cost about $150. I paid $90 for my dulcimer, so $150 for a case seems out of budget. The dulcimer came with a cloth drawstring bag, but I prefer to put all my stringed instruments in hard cases. Any case that would fit the dimensions of the dulcimer would be acceptable. The dimesions of the dulcimer are 35\" long, 7.5\" wide, 2.5\" deep. So it would be a long thin case I am looking for.
I have also tried finding suitcases or something like that which I could add padding to on the inside to form-fit the dulcimer. But given the dulcimer's length to width, it would have to be a long, thin case. The only suitcases that I found that long are also very wide.
If all else fails, I would be willing to try and make my own case. If anyone could point me to a web site that has instructions on building guitar cases, I would be able to modify the dimensions for my purpose.
Any help much appreciated. Open to other helpful suggestions too. Thanks.

Also a salvage freight warehouse might have electronic road/flightcases similar in size as I have some that went cheap. Always think auctions for pennies on the dollar.
