Traveling with openback banjo?
I was curious if anyone flies frequently with an openback banjo, and if you do are you flying with your main banjo or something like a Deering good time ?
Appreciate any replies.

Don't know what your particular needs are, but OB banjos easily fit into an overhead bin if in a gigbag.

Yeah I’m concerned about the musicians plight of carrying a gig bag and being forced to gate check it.
If folks were having success with gig bags I would wonder if they are running reunion blues or something similar. I’m basically toying around with either a high end gig bag or low end travel instrument.

Think the necks on most open backs are too long for the bins. Short scales probably work fine. Superior makes a good case that's maybe flight worthy for just over $100. You could call Smakula Fretted instruments and talk to the owner who can advise you, he knows pretty much everything about banjos and sells the Superior cases.

If there's a chance that you'll have to baggage check it, I would advise against taking anything you wouldn't want to risk damage - unless you have a flight case. |
