Re: Rehabbing an oboe case

I turned a standard clarinet case into one that fits a full Boehm system. I used a material called panne velvet. It is like velvet but has a crushed appearance (I think at Joann's it is called crushed panne velvet). It is brilliant for covering case interiors because it has a degree of stretch, so it fits around dents and corners. Unlike some velvets, it also doesn't shed.

You may want to look into flannelette as well if you don't like the plushness of velvet. I use this to line the double reed cases I make, as it doesn't take up as much space as the nap of velvet. It is very easy to work with, and even adheres well with double-sided craft tape.
