I've taken several flights where my horn would definitely fit in the
overhead compartments, yet I wasn't allowed to bring my horn on board.
In one flight my case was thrown enough to crack it in 3 places, and
these were BIG cracks. I had to buy a new case when I got home. It's

I have left the entire post attached to this response because it is such an
astute statement to the typical "fan "question. You, sir, have obviously not

I am absolutely NOT going to contribute names, not because I don't have
