it might be interesting to note that in a related
subject on another list, someone reported having no
trouble at all in transporting his oud on turkish

Hi all,
I just returned from Hamburg, to Brussels, as always with
SN Brussels (Ex Sabena).It was the tenth time or so travelling
with them, trying to take a baroque lute a hand luggage.
They always find a free seat in the first class for the instrument.
Very nice crew.
But this time the x-ray lad

According to legend, the phrase the custom
officials' used to describe their fear of the theorbo
was that it might be a "Popish instrument of war."

- might be alive, equally thick and on the job in
