Richard,

You can get that foam at a lot of places. Some will custom-cut it for
you. There are a few in our area that sell it as replacements for the
foam inside of couches and chairs, just check the yellow pages. I see
ads in the paper for that as well. You can get blocks too and cut it out
with an exacto knife. Give me a yell when it's done, I'd like to see it!

I've seen the poker chip case at Target, and I'm presently 
drooling over a really nice case at CasesGalore, and I've 
designed the perfect (at least, to me) harmonica case on 
AutoCad.  One that also holds my mics, preamp, cables, etc.  
The only thing that's holding me back now is - - - where 
does one buy the foam to put inside the case?

For Chromatic Harmonicas there is the F.R. Farrell Company at:
   http://www.frfarrell.com

They sell under their name zippered chromatic cases for 12 or 16 hole
chromatics for something like $10.00 or $12.00.  I love these cases.
They have a belt loop if you should decide to wear it on your belt.  But
the cases are great for protecting the harmonicas from garbage etc.
Naturally it's not going to keep your harps from being crushed.  But
they sure are nice.  I purchase one everytime I purchase a new
chromatic.

Regarding carrying cases.  Why not just use an old briefcase or purchase
an inexpensive briefcase.  If you want to keep the harps from rattling
around you can purchase some foam from a fabric store and cut out areas
in the foam for each individual harmonica.  

Another thing I would consider for transporting harmonicas is a camera
case.  They are available in both hard and soft sided versions.

Have a Great Day,
Jim
