Default Phewwww...

Have any of you ever had a new Calton? Talk about a chemical smell! Calton even suggests "flairing" the case, or in other words, letting it air out.
I have owned several Caltons and what has worked is putting them opened up, in our spare bedroom and running the ceiling fan for a few days. This works well.

Now about my Martins...they both have the most wonderful spicey odor, especially the hog D18. I cannot resist sticking my nose where it doesn't belong everytime I take them out of their cases. OOOOO AHHHHH.
