Uncommon triple case

I want a triple case for an uncommon set of instruments: A, B flat, and C. I use these all the time and don't want multiple cases.

My current case a reasonable, albeit tacky, solution. I got an industrial case of about the right size from a catalog ($80). A bedding shop cut several layers of high density mattress foam to fit in the case ($15). I layed out the three instruments, marked the foam, then cut out compartments for each piece with an Xacto knife. What I got is versatile, robust, and relatively light weight. It is not at all elegant, however.

There are people who make inexpensive road cases for sound equipment (my mixer case is strong and heavy, and was only $90). There must be someone who can make a lightweight clarinet case.

Does anybody know of a source that will make custom cases for less than it costs to get a new instrument?

Thanks,
