Two special favorites: Three Blind Mice (Janita Baker's transcription of tune from around 1600) and Ghost Chickens in the Sky which deals with revenge on those who raise birds for Colonel Sanders.
There make my flesh crawl! Gleeful and nasty tones come from my throat. Horror in my heart.....ahaaaaa
In my opinion the bags made by Lee Felt (Bag Lady) and Blue Heron are the best money can buy. They are made with different protective materials and both are great. Nevertheless I would never intrust the contents to herculean baggage goons!
A hard wooden case will provide better protection if traveling by air. Also very useful are golf club bags which are designed for air travel. One of Lee's bags or Blue Heron will fit inside the golf bag which also has room for extra clothes, etc. If you go the golf bag route, get a carrier with protected clasps since those might be broken. Nice perk is that once destination is reached the golf bag lives in the closet and Blue Heron or Felt bag goes with you.
