Re: Traveling with Clarinets

This should elicit a few groans, but it worked well...I just arrived back from a Central American trip. Clarinetting wasn't the focus of my trip but it got played several times anyway. The problem when I travelled previously was that the clarinet in its case was just too heavy, since we'd be carrying all our baggage when travelling quite a bit by car, dusty buses, and several planes.

So this time I just wrapped each piece carefully in bubble wrap and placed all the pieces into a separate beach bag that was in turn placed inside my carry-on bag. Everything was far lighter and the x-ray people didn't have any problem at all with it, even with connecting flights in the States.

I was happy to bring it out of its wraps at home, but because I always handled the carry-on bag there never was a risk to it. Not something I'd do regularly but it sure was better to carry around.
