So you think an airline will respect your $300 uke in its foam case?The musician had nestled his lute in an aluminum flight case, a piece of luggage which had safeguarded the instrument during previous trips around the world.
But it wasn't strong enough this time around to protect the lute from Air Canada employees.
"It is a specially designed flight case, that's why I had so much confidence that it would be fine," says Cardin.
