I just finished this case.  It is for the first dulcimer I made.  I have to make a couple more definitely use the lessons learned from this one on the next.  This is made from Eastern Red Cedar. I built a box mitered corners with dovetail splines, then cut the top off, made the handle from maple and cedar. That was the easy part.  The foam and covering it was a definite education.  I used open cell upholstery foam bought from a local shop.  Covered the foam with fleece from fabric shop.  I wanted to use crushed velvet but the price and not knowing how I was going to cover things scared me off.  They didn't have any black flannel so went with the fleece.  I am not real happy with the fabric work but next time will be much better.
