[TPIN] airlines + trumpet: travel difficulties

[Patrick Olguin]

I always take my horn on the road.  Sometimes at security I'll get a knowing look, or "nice axe," comment.   Last month was the only time I had to take the horn out of the bag (an Altieri single gig bag).  The concern was over the k&m trumpet stand.  Then they asked me to play it (the equivalent of drinking baby formula, I suppose).  Somehow "Dragnet," came out of the horn.

I took it on the plane with no problems.  Must be the Benge.
