Subj: Re: [kl] Alto clarinet case

Thanks Nick and Fred (and to Fred thanks for the
unique spelling of my name too).

This alto doesn't deserve a Wiseman case (a
replacement alto would cost much less) so I'll try
Altieri.

If I find hard enough foam (never found any locally)
and all the other materials I need for it I'll
consider making my own.

Thanks,

Nitai
