Custom cases will ensure that your musical instruments get to your destination in one piece.

Traveling is tough to do in general, and one of the toughest parts of it is dealing with luggage. These situations can be especially stressful for musicians who have to worry about transporting their precious instruments when traveling. An instrument can be particularly troublesome to travel with due to their bulky and awkward sizes and shapes, especially when in cases. What is even more worrisome is that damaged instruments are expensive to replace, and many musicians rely on them for their livelihood, so if anything happens to them, the musician is in deep trouble. To make sure your musical instruments will remain safe during travel, follow these tips to make sure that they can get to your destination in one piece.

Remember to Carry-On

A good way to travel safely with your musical instrument is to remember that it can count as a piece of your carry on luggage. Like with any other piece of carry-on luggage, it will be allowed as long as it can fit in the overhead compartment in the plane. Although this only works for smaller instruments like violas, violins, guitars, etc. Although, there is always potential that there may be no room for the instrument if you are in a later boarding group, so remember to keep that in mind and try and get on the plane as early as possible. You could also go the extra mile with your instrument and even buy an extra seat on the plane just to put it in. This helps avoid any complications with bringing it on as a carry-on and even allows you to bring on a bigger instrument.

Get a custom case

Whether you check your instrument or bring it as carry-on, you will need to make sure it is being transported in a proper case. The right case can keep your instrument safe from any danger, especially any sudden impact from being moved around during transport thanks to the multiple layers of protective materials like sponge and foam. A hard case is especially worth investing in for a custom case when traveling by air for additional security. Plastic cases are also a good option to invest in with custom cases thanks to how easy it is to customize to an instruments needs.
