Superb!
0:36 Is there any similar holder for Clarinet? foam spacer?

I did one for Bb and Eb clarinet reeds. Need to find then as I am not playing anymore because I might be selling my horns due to the fact that I lost interest in music and it's not worth holding on to them.

Thanks for the shout out, Eryn! Those cases look great. I especially like the makeup case. Very stylish! As you mentioned, hot glue worked well for me, but it may be because of a difference in foam. I used a 6mm craft foam sheet and alternated horizontal and vertical pieces to create a similar to the foam at Forests. Their foam is perfect, but I enjoy making everything custom. If you enjoy trial and error designing, the foam sheet may be for you. Otherwise, I'd use Forests. :P

Howarth of London do the foam spacer, if anyone in the UK is looking. They get it from Reeds n Stuff. On Ebay I've found a nice wooden pencil case that would be great as a case, they even do it with a giraffe design on the lid!

Great idea! The cases are expensive to buy for what they are. I just need to find some of the foam spacer in the UK

Hey Eryn I was wondering how would you check if your bassoon had a rubbeer lining to prevent rot. And if you didn't have one what could you do to prevent rot

Would this work for a combo bassoon/contra reed case?

Can someone please point in the direction of the reed foam thanks.

[trailofundead]

Mine's all done and looking great, thank again for posting! I'll tweet you some pics

The reed foam is like 30 bucks. I'm better off buying a case.
