a friend has a case company..
flight form case http://www.flightform.com/
and i used one of thier protective cases to
safely get my nyckelharpa to and from Sweden.

the peace of mind alone was worth the effort...
and the price..
good luck!

there is a form you can down load from the musicians'
union which gives musicians the right to carry instru-
ments.
