Re: Heating pads in case covers - good/bad?

I hear you about the -20. We are at -15 in the heat of the day here in Alaska. On top of that we have almost record snow. My wrists are so sore from shoveling that it's hard to play sometimes.

I just thought of something. If you felt like being crafty, you could make a bean bag heater out of some thicker cotton fabric filled with barley or split peas. Similar to a microwave neck warmer like this. http://tipnut.com/make-your-own-microwave-heating-pad/

I imagine that it would have to be about an inch thick and wide enough to cover both flat sides of your oboe case cover. So you may have to quilt it a little bit. Then put the wrapped case in a duffel bag or whatever. The neck warmers hold heat for a good while with a little zap in the microwave.

If the idea doesn't pan out you aren't out too much money. Barley and scrap fabric are pretty inexpensive. I would make one but I have a plastic oboe.
