Get yourself a travel horn. What's a travel horn? Travel instruments, in our house, are "beater" instruments that we don't really care much about and are easily replaced. An ebay or craiglist horn, even a single horn in F, that you pay $250 for would fit the bill for me. Pad the case with bubble wrap around the horn and hope for the best.
If you're going someplace for long enough, you can buy a used horn when you're there or have the ebay seller ship it to your first destination. Unless you're traveling to play professionally, almost any horn that plays will suffice for what you've asked about. Just my opinion, your mileage may vary. -S- On Sun, Jun 26, 2011 at 5:24 PM, Lewis Rubenstein <[email protected]> wrote: > The last time I took a horn with me on a vacation, it almost got ruined when > falling out of a baggage shoot at an airport pick up.
