Hello all-
Thanks for all the tips on traveling with my oboe. I had absolutely no problems. I made sure to take the case out of my backpack before I put it through security, just like a laptop. As I went through security in Managua, the older of the two guys doing the scanning looked at the x-ray, made playing motions to the younger one, took it back through and showed him, then sent it through. So it was an education for him!
The only problems I had playing it was that it had been so long since I had picked up this particular oboe that the c didn't play but by the next day it had loosened up.
Waiting in the airport in Miami I sat across from a guy playing on his trombone mouthpiece so we had a nice musical discussion. He was going to Peru so had only brought his mouthpiece to keep his lip in shape. i'm glad I play a small instrument!
