Re: [Harp-L] Subject: Re: Harmonicas in carry-on luggage

[Barbara Butler <bsvb@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After years of touring with a ballet company, I can't even remember how  
many times my luggage was "misdirected".  I would NEVER put anything  
important in my checked bags. Certainly not my harps.  EXCEPTION to  
this being my tool kit.  If you try to carry that on they WILL take it  
from you. I also open the cases containing the harps, tuners and mics  
and lay them out like a laptop. The checkers often say they appreciate  
this.
