Re: Taking a Clarinet on an airplane

In a few weeks I'll be moving to California, and guess what's definitely NOT going on the 100°+ moving van.

I managed to fit my normal Bb and A and Eb in my Protec (the older style with the middle slot) which will be my larger carry-on and then I put my full Boehm Bb and backup Bb in a pochette (with a case cover) as my personal item. There are some accessories thrown in here and there, so hopefully the TSA will overlook anything too sharp.

I haven't had any mentionable experiences before. There were plenty of flights where my single clarinet sat nicely in my backpack with no incidents, reed knife and all. When taking my clarinet out to play after traveling, I let it sit with the case open for a little while to adjust to the humidity and temperature.
