.....now wouldn't that be something?  I could just imagine that even  if it 
wasn't, some unscrupulous "entrepreneur" will get the bright idea of  
outfitting it with foam for harps as I've suggested and then a year from now  it 
reappearing on EBay  "authenticated" as belonging to him.  I  may just have to buy 
it to ensure that doesn't happen <g>.
 
In response to Chris and his very nice gig bag -- I still don't have a  "harp 
box" to put inside a gig bag.  I was looking at this small suitcase  as a 
possibility to be my actual harp container since I have quite a few  chromatics 
now and they could fit horizontally while the diatonics could easily  fit into 
cutouts vertically in a six-inch deep case.  
 
You should ask Rosco about his harp case.  I saw it at the teach in at  
Buckeye.  It was to die for.
 
Does anyone know what the current rules and regs are re harps and air  
travel?  Must they be stashed in my checked luggage (and isn't that risky  
damage-wise?)  or can I carry them onboard?  Do they all have to have  their individual 
boxes/cases since I don't have a harp case yet.  Do  they look like weapons 
to Security unboxed? (Especially the Super 64  Chromatic).  I'd appreciate some 
advice, thanks.
