I got a surprise birthday present a couple of days ago - a Gretsch double ukulele case, like the one shown here.
I like it a lot on first inspection - lots of pockets, etc, and it fits both my 6 string Lanikai and one of my other ukes well.
But then I began to think about an upcoming trip I have when I was wondering whether to take my uke or not. One leg of the trip will be on a commuter plane, with limited overhead space where I may be limited to a single carry-on. That means I would have to figure out whether to check my computer bag or my uke - and I wouldn't check my uke.
I was thinking I could put my computer in my suitcase, and check it if I had too. Then I had a brainstorm - and it looks like it will work.
I can put a uke into one of the compartments in the double bag. I got the bag out and my computer and associated recording rig fits snugly in the other uke compartment. Huzzah!
It seems like a good idea. Only one carry-on, and I can take a smaller bag to maybe carry that on too. But am I missing something?
