  1. I’m concerned about how my trombone will be handled en route. It’s too big to carry on. I have a hard travel case, but the latches are delicate and ready to break. I have a larger case with a zipper, but it has softer sides. Tossing it or throwing heavy luggage on top of it might damage the instrument. If I knew for sure the customs folks wouldn’t try to open it, I’d use the hard case. But if they break a latch, will they just tape it shut?

    1. Iโ€™d definitely advise the hard carrying case. If itโ€™s too large to carry on, then it will be checked and then you’ll need to have a hard case to protect it. If the latches are delicate and you are concerned the airlines may not be careful with them, you may want to look into getting a new case. We canโ€™t say for sure what the airlines will do with luggage that they damage, but the best protection you can have for your instrument is a durable travel case.
