I have an Olds Recording trumpet in the original case. The handle is worn out and there are a couple of scuffed spots in the leather trim, but except for that the outside of the case is in functionally good shape. But I would like to have the felt lining of the inside of the case replaced because it's pretty well worn out. I know I can just buy an after market case, but I would like to keep using the original.

Does anyone know of some company that can refurbish the case-especially on the inside? Thanks.

You might find a good local seamstress or shoemaker to give it a try. I did that with an old case and it turned out well. I bought the lining and a special fabric glue called "Fabritack" and the seamstress did the rest. (They're good at cutting and piecing things together.)
