In the USA, if you are traveling on a plane, it's
likely you can get some hassles about taking your musical equipment in the
cabin.
I have a PDF of a letter from the US Dept. of
Transportation from Jan 17, 2003 that you may do well to carry with you.
Basically the letter states that in additon to
one bag and one carry-on, people can take into the cabin one
instrument.
Probably a good idea to print this letter out and
have it with you when you board the plane...
In my next e-mail, I'll try attaching the PDF
document so everyone can have it. If if doesn't stay "attached" please
send me an e-mail and I can forward copies individually to those you want
it.
