[pianotech] Flight Case Yuk!

[Joseph Garrett]

Terry,
But, I'm wondering what kind of foam. I certainly don't want to put the same kind back in. Perhaps there are better foams or "padding" that would be available? I've done the "scraping" and Vacuuming, etc.! What a mess! I'll be going to the "Foam Store" soon and would like to have some more info.
Regards,'
Joe

Hi Joe,


I just replaced the foam in my case. Just tear & scrape it out - you don't have to get every little last bit if you will be putting new foam in there. Then get yourself some foam, cut it on the bandsaw and glue it in. Very easy to do.

If the Vikings can talk our new legislature into a new stadium, you could probably get some of the artificial turf from the old one. The turf was new a year or two ago.

Does anyone remember Flight Cases? I have one for my 4' 10" Brambach Grand, (if you could really call it that.<G>). This, I suspect was an Anvil Case, although it doesn't have the appropriate insignia(s) stenciled on it. The insides were 2" & 3" foam. There lies the problem. Because of the age, the foam is now turning into this granular/sticky decomposing yuk! I'm going to have to replace it with something. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with such a mess? The bottom & sides, (end to end for the piano), were covered with indoor/outdoor carpeting over the foam. the back/top, (inside)/removable front were, simply exposed foam. Any thoughts? Anyone?
Thanks,
Joe
