Cornet double case

Does anyone know of a case that is designed to hold 2 cornets (specifically not a trumpet dual case)?

For something like this, get a larger Pelican and pluck the foam to match the cornets.
Optionally, add the lining cut in shape to accommodate for the plucked volume.

So I did some more digging and apparently Gard made a 2-cornet gigbag at one point (not sure if they still do), and there's a UK company named BrassBags that makes a 2-cornet gigbag as well, but it's a soft case.

For my Bb et Eb cornets, I am using the Brass Bags Premier Cornet Gig Bag :

I use a Messina Covers "Airline 2.5" for my Bb & Eb cornet. Yes, it's a trumpet case, but offers a snug fit and good protection, + room for accessories. I love the full sized folder slot on the bottom.

They do offer custom made cases, so I'm sure they have the cabaility to modify the design of a the Airline 2.5 -shorten it to only accommodate cornets
