Re: Case lining fabric

For the inside lid of my case I used a dense foam pad, sold as a seat cushion for a kitchen chair cut to size and covered with velveteen. The main part of the case is a styrofoam block cut to size, and carved to fit the clarinets.

Paper clips make great tools for carving styrofoam, because you can curve them to the diameter of a clarinet, then use them to gouge the main part of the depression for the instrument to rest in. Some additional carving to fit around the keywork, and you end up with a custom fit. Apply a light spray of tacky glue to the top of the styrofoam when the carving is finished, and then the velveteen. The tacky glue will adhere to the velveteen, giving a nice finished look to all the depressions in the foam.

Drop the finished and covered foam block into the bottom of the briefcase and you are done.
