Well, this is all another good reason to drive, ain't it? Although it would be a trick driving from Greece to Nashville.
I have not had to fly with a musical instrument YET --- I am assuming they will let me carry-on my fiddle. But one never knows.
My fiddle teacher once told me some of the people she worked with carried on their guitars and put them in the little closet up front where people put their hanging bags.
Mrrzy, I don't know if you were talking about me or not, because I honestly don't remember if I posted this - but a guy that I played with last week had flown in from Colorado Springs on the 19th, and he told us security didn't open up his guitar case.
If you can get a tommygun in a violin case, what can you get in a guitar case?! Geez, do you think anyone could use a capo as an instrument of intimidation? Take this plane to Vegas or I'll pinch your nose! No, I guess not...
