A few months ago I bought an old Covey all-wood oboe case for cheap. My plan is to restore the case and modify it to house my Howarth XL oboe. The case needs all new latches and possibly hinges. Does anyone know a good source for the french-style latches?
Also, since I am modifying the interior to fit my Howarth, which is a substantially larger oboe than a Covey, I had to remove the velour/velvet interior and re-mill the interior of the case. I am thinking of just visiting my local fabric store and buying a similar fabric. Is this a good plan or is there a particular type of fabric that is best suited for instrument cases?
