Hi, all.
I'm no computer guy, but couldn't one design a program that will hear
what one is playing and turn the page at the appropriate time?
Wouldn't this be more reliable than a human page-turner, eliminating
nervousness and/or distraction? Only half joking.
Personally,
Our local music shop has a pdf-music stand with foot pedal. It has a
touch screen you can write on and remembers 'pencil' marks for each
page. In different colours, I believe. No way I am going to lug that
around.

Dan,
Great idea. I think colleges/churches/concert venues should foot

I always buy a seat--well, they buy a seat--but some of the newer
planes as well as commuter planes the theorbo does not fit, and
sometimes they switch at the last minute to a smaller plane.
But usually it fits, when flying I use my 140/82 theorbo. The 150 and
above theorbos have had some
Thanks again, all, for your ideas on this topic. I'm encouraged to

thanks for those photos, Bill. CaseXtreme looks like a viable
alternative.

Let's be discouraged:

disproportionately large impact on the climate system. It presently
accounts for 4-9% of the total climate change impact of human activity.'

Another option- especially for those musicians with periodically
recurring gigs in the same places- is to stash theorboes at the
different locations. At a certain point, the cumulative expenses for
super cases, cases-for-the cases, and multiple first class tickets is
going to reach the price

When I looked into this a month or two ago, I concluded that there are
no easy answers. A shipping case or box hefty enough to really
protect the lute is extremely likely to incur oversize and possibly
also overweight charges. By the time you account for that cost both

Thanks all for your ideas, suggestions, and references. Buying a seat
for Sir Lute seems the safest option, though I also like Guy's idea of
getting a first class seat. Though perhaps not quite as safe as
buying the extra seat and being sure of accomodation for the
instrument.
