I'm looking at the forecast for the next week and it's in the mid -20's to mid -30's C (-10 to -30 F). My poor little horns!! Has anyone ever put a handwarmer (magic bag, clickwarmers, etc.) inside their case cover? I'm just wondering if the differential in temperature across the case (I'm assuming the heat from one of these things would be quite local) would be a worse thing than without.
I normally put my oboe in my heavily-padded backpack, so I could wrap it in an additional blanket and stick a handwarmer inside the bag or in another compartment, to keep the average temp in the bag higher but not scorching near the instrument. The horn can't fit in a backpack, so I was thinking of sticking it in a duffel bag with another blanket and putting another handwarmer in there somewhere.
Oh, and any of you with BAM cases? Do you think the lack of a cover is harmful in very cold weather? I was also thinking of "double-bagging" my BAM double case.
