Last month I flew with 7 harps in a padded Lee Oskar case that was in my 
carry on backpac. No problem one way, the other they stopped me after the 
X-ray and wanted to look into the bag. The harps. It was OK to carry them. 
She said that the angle of the X-ray photo made it hard to tell what they 
were.

Peace and music,
