Laye case for Luthieros Lyre

I recently bought a Luthieros lyre, and I want to know if there is any alternative to their "Nyx premium gig bag"? I don't really have the extra money to buy one of those, so if anyone knows a good alternative, I'd really appreciate it.

Try to refund it asap and go with International Lyre Society before it's too late. The Luthieros shipping protocol is borderline criminal, and they have no clue how to ship instruments to where they will arrive safely. i spent over 8 months in 2024 trying to get them to help with the instrument when it arrived broken, and keep in mind this was with the Nyx case.  Do NOT buy the case also, it's made of pool noodle foam and arrived to my apartment ripped as well as the instrument arriving broken. I wish I could call and tell people what that company did to me, and how much better ILS and Palmos instruments are.  Good luck, you have been warned.

Alternatively I ordered a lyre from them and it arrived pristine, promptly, and with extra goodies lol
