Is anyone producing pre-cut foam harp inserts for cases?

Bump?

I'd sure like to see such a product. Pick-&-Pull faom seems to break down quickly (as well as not giving a perfect fit) and regular good quality foam is hard to cut (although I hear if you use a cheap electric cutting knife it cuts right through ,but I have not tried that). I made a case recently and cutting the foam took me about an hour or so for three nights or more; but I do love that case. Lesson here: if you can't find a case that you want just make your own (for a lot less money, but a lot more time).

Air, I give them plenty when it's their turn. Dflat even got time last night.
No, I'm not worried about the foam depriving them of air but I am worried about what I might be growing in there. I plan to hit it all with disinfectant but I'm worried about harps picking up the smell.

"I'm not quite sure if you are taking the piss,"
? ?
Don't get that but I do see you were suggesting the same idea I actually described.
