	Now I haven't seen the CX-12, but I figure if this worked for my 
Super 64, it should work for you.  Just go to your local foam shop, and 
get a nice piece of foam, foam-rubber, or both, and some foam glue or 
acrylic paint, even fiberglass resin.  Now before you say, "What? My 
local foam-shop?"  I'll explain what I mean.. by my house (Seattle, 
Capitol Hill), there is a shop that sells foam, foam matresses, foam 
everything, as well as plain sheets and chunks.  It's _very_ cheap to buy 
scraps from larger orders, and with an electric kitchen knife (careful!) 
or a sharp blade, it's very easy to cut and shape.  You can use the 
harder stuff for the inside, and the softer stuff outside, or vice-versa, 
I can think of reasons for both ways...  A slit is basically all it takes 
to make a nice little "holder" for it.  It won't protect against getting 
stepped on or thrown, but it's small, easy to use for multiple harps, and 
kinda fun to make..
happy foaming..
