I replied to Wayne directly, but I'll share what I replied: Bag luthiers, see link below, makes soft backpack cases for lutes and theorbos.. Hi Wayne, I have a backpack softcase for my arabic oud, used to be sold by Kalaf Ouds; http://www.oudstrings.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=127 Hi again Wayne, there is also a company in Spain, they're on Facebook, they seem to make all kinds of bags for early instruments: http://www.bagluthiers.com/ I'm going to Spain this summer, I might pay them a visit. -- Bruno Cognyl-Fournier www.estavel.org 2014-03-05 15:51 GMT-05:00 Dan Winheld <dwinh...@lmi.net>: > I'll bet no manufacturer is thinking of backpacks for lutes.
