There are several ways to fit an instrument: Recommended C-clamp placement for a standard Dyer.  A loose instrument could be held in place as shown (Stephen Bennett has flown with this very set-up).  However, all clamps must be tight, so extra foam pieces must be rubber-banded together to firmly cushion the instrument from above, below and against all side walls. Otherwise, shifting may occur.  When the lid is closed, this further locks the pieces in place.  No muss, no fuss; the instrument simply "floats" in the box.  Note that the Dyer is slightly angled to put the protruding arm more in plane with the body.
The above arrangement is not necessarily recommended.  The padded HGM gig bag further protects the instrument from the elements and better fills the spaces in the C-clamps.  The tighter the fit, the better.  Note that the foam block at the tail end is off of the tail pin.  When a gig-bag is used, some material may need to be removed from foam clamps (the gig bag adds its own 1/2"-plus of cushioned padding surrounding the instrument).   In this case, I cut 1/2" of material from the insides of clamps 1, 2 & 3.  Note how I have deliberately stuffed the case so tightly that the sides ends are bulging - this is OK; the sides will all close in adequately when the lid is closed.  The more snug, the better!
I even managed to fit my old Harptone Dyer case, using thinner pads, and again, letting the walls bulge out.  Though I have deliberately bowed out all sides, the lid will force over these and strap together, as seen below.  The ends of the top lid tend to bow out regardless. An additional luggage strap could be wrapped around lengthwise, if desired - but I found it unnecessary during four connecting flights back and forth to the fifth Harp Guitar Gathering, with my Dyer and gig bag inside.

If you're looking for a sleek and sexy case, this is not it.  This is no-frills practicality - meant to be as lightweight but indestructible as possible.
