I'm reminded of a college orchestra trip to Mexico. The university had
purchased two seats for every cello player so the instruments could ride in the

I had an Anvil style case custom made for my cut-bell Conn 8D about 12 years
ago and flew with it 6 or so times to Europe, once to Japan, and a dozen or so

If you fly a lot with your horn (an awful lot), you might just want to
get a flight case. Something along the lines of the Anvil (extremely
heavy and extremely expensive) or a Pelican (not as heavy, not near as
expensive) will do well and the untrained airport monkeys can throw your
horn around as

I use the 2 piece MB case when I travel (not sure of the number). In a case

I just finished a day of travel headaches with Delta airlines. They had me on a
