All,
On this note, I thought perhaps I'd show off my little travel lute for
just such a purpose. It's a flat-backed 6-course. It's a fully
functional Renaissance lute (60cm string length, 1.2 cms string spacing
at the bridge) with a surprisingly big sound. The only difference is
the flat back. It even has a Kingham case to go with it. It's about the
size and width of a tennis racket and easily goes over my shoulder or
even in a backpack. It can fit in any overhead compartment on a plane
or under the seat. It's a perfect travel lute for anyone who wants to
take a lute anywhere they need to go but don't want to take a chance
with their main instrument. It's a remarkable little instrument and I
spend more time playing it than I do any other lute I own.
I've attached a link to some pics here. If anyone wants to know any
details (price, where I got it, etc.), feel free to contact me.

States and

*The AFM applauds the passage of the FAA Bill that sets a
consistent
national policy allowing musical instruments on airplanes*
After five years and 23 short-term extensions, Congress has
passed
legislation reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA)
for the
next four years. Included in the bill are provisions that create
a
uniform
national policy regarding musical instruments on airplanes. Any
instrument
that can be safely stored in the overhead compartment or
underneath
the
seat may be brought on board as carry-on luggage. Additionally,
the
bill
sets standard weight and size requirements for checked
instruments,
and
permits musicians to purchase a seat for oversized instruments,
such
as
cellos, that are too delicate to be checked. Existing law
allowed
each
airline to set their own policy regarding musical instruments,
and
size
requirements varied widely for both carry-on and checked
baggage.
The
American Federation of Musicians (AFM) has been lobbying
Congress to
enact
such a policy for nearly a decade.
"This is great news for professional musicians throughout the
U.S.
and
Canada who carry the tools of our trade our instruments aboard
commercial aircraft," said AFM President Ray Hair. "Ending the
confusion
over musical instruments as carry-on baggage has been a top
legislative
priority for nearly a decade. I am proud of our Government
Relations
Director, Hal Ponder and his assistant Laura Brigandi in our
Washington
legislative office for seeing the effort through. Musicians can
now
fly in
friendlier skies."
The FAA reauthorization was passed by the House of
Representatives
on
Friday, February 3 by a 248-169 vote. It subsequently passed the
Senate on
Monday, February 6, 75-20. The President is expected to sign
the
bill into
law.
