Re: [Harp-L] Foam inserts for harp cases?

[Roscoe Catania <rjcataniajr@xxxxxxxxx>]

In my homemade case I used a $2.00 Walmart fishing tackle box that has 6
compartments. I then bought copper pipe insulation for about $3.00. The
insulation comes in various lengths, like 4, 6 ft. Get the right sizing
(which I forget, maybe 1 inch diam.?) Cut the lengths to fit inside the
compartments of the tackle box and they fit perfectly.
