 | Re: Flying with mutes Be sure to take a good book and to pack them very carefully. Mutes aren't great conversationalists on long trips (or short ones for that matter). Regards, Trevor |

Is there anything in specific that you recommend I pack them in. They will be in the belly of the plane in my suitcase. | |

| Re: Flying with mutes Oh dear, what a waste!! Wrap them up in your clothes and put them in the middle of the bag and they'll be fine. The odd dent and scratch is a right of passage. Regards, Trevor |

| Re: Flying with mutes Be aware that they might freak out security people a bit... I played a political function in DC once (Reagan) and the Secret Service was questioning my friend about his Harmon mute. He grabbed the stem and said "you pull this out and then you count to three..." They weren't amused :) jmp |

Student Trumpet: put your mutes in your carry-on bag, in the middle surrounded by a t-shirt or three. That way, the only dents they receive are the one you give them. You may have to explain why they aren't drug paraphenalia (you know, metal tubes with holes) at the security checkpoint, but as long as there is no incriminating residue (ie, you better not be using your Harmon mute as a bong), you should be fine. It helps if you are carrying your trumpet in the under-the-seat bag, ready to play for security on-demand. Music soothes the bureaucratic beast. .
