I travel a lot of international flights and recently i have been having a lot of problems with my uke as carry-on, specifically with Asian airlines like EVA, PAL and Korean Air. They are saying that they have new safety rules that preclude the carry on of any stringed instruments as the strings may be used as a weapon while in flight (uhmmm WTH!!!) Anyhow, the last two times i have managed to talk my way on with a ton of hassles and by showing that the strings are all nylon and not steel, apparently this is important, but i'm almost sure that my luck will run out some time.
Anyways, long story short, i am looking for a bomb proof hard case recommendation for my Kinnard tenor, i'll start with trying it as a carry on but want to know that if they force me to check my uke it will get there in one piece. Don't care how heavy, ugly or whatever the case is, just that it can handle some idiot dropping a heavy suitcase onto it and my Kinnard will make it home safe and sound regardless.
Thanks... Bill
