Can anyone confirm or deny that TKL cases are made in Virginia? They also mention 'strategic' international alliances, which may mean having Boblin manufacture Canadian orders. Anyone have any solid knowledge about this?

Thanks

Cedar Creek Cases are made in VA, I don't know about TKL. Same company, but Cedar Creek is a separate division.

Some things are made elsewhere. I bought a couple Zero-gravity mandolin cases last year which were made in China. Great cases, by the way. They're currently working on a tenor ukulele Zero-gravity case which is being made in the US.

TKL's used to be made in VA, but I have heard that most of the manufacturing of those is in Canada these days. The customs (Cedar Creek) are still made in VA, AFAIK.
If I have my story straight, TKL was formed during a buyout of Harptone (NY) and Everest (Canada).
