If the cavity is around 6" long x 1.25" wide x 1.5" deep. That would require roughly 14" x 1.5" for the sides, plus 6" x 1.25" for the bottom. Etc. The exact amount depends on the specifics of your instrument. You have to measure the areas you need, and plot it out on the available sheets. Probably more than 1 or these sheets. Possibly 1 for the full size 12"x12" sheets, depending how you plot it out.
