[Harp-L] Foam Blues

[Shawn Williams <swilliamsffpm@xxxxxxx>]

did you see the one here with the pipe insulation? that is better covered than foam and when it starts to go, it would be super cheap to just cut a new piece and replace the old one. i may eventually go that route myself.

"About 4 years ago upon the advise of this forum I made up an old leather briefcase with modeling foam. It was the kind used for hobbyists ofmodel soliders with the pull apart foam. I thought it was the greatest thing.Well now I do not recommend it. When it ages it flakes & crumbles from inserting metal harps in & out all the time. I found flakes ina couple of my favorite 270's and stuck a cadillac Pete plastic case in for the moment.Of course this means my harps are on their sides, and that makes it hard to see the keys in a dark club & I don't want to fumble around squinting at keys like somebody's grandad! I prefer a vertical orientation.I'd like to solve this hassle once & for all, I keep both mics in it also. Anyone tried plastic, or cardboard?"
