And beware of the Wrong sort of foam!
For various instrument cases some years ago I got this superb stuff from
a car upholsterer: foam-backed cloth with quite a raised nap - smashing
and quite classy looking....
.. for the first 12 - 15 years. After which the foam de-natures and
fills the case, and the instrument, with really annoying tiny bits of
foam. Ideal in a hurdy gurdy.
More recently I used free sheets of expanded polystyrene packing from
some flat-pack furniture, cut & glued in place with charity shop velvet
curtain over the top. (PVA or Copydex)
Heat & impact protection, and the curtain looks classy as long as it's
plain and dark.
