Re: Ship it or check it...

Given the choice, I would select in the order of preference:

1. Drive there and take your instrument with you.

2. Ship it through FedEx or another reliable carrier, paying extra for insurance for the full value of the instrument and its case and accessories.

3. Take it as carry-on bagage on the flight.

4. Fly with the instrument checked through as baggage.

I do not at all trust the airlines or the TSA folks who go through people's luggage. I have seen too many horror stories of expensive items disappearing from checked baggage.
