If you look at FedEx's insurance policies ( http://www.fedex.com/us/service-guide/terms/express-ground/ ) you will see that..
6. Shipments (packages or freight) containing all or part of the following items are limited to a maximum declared value of US$1,000: Guitars and other musical instruments that are more than 20 years old, and customized or personalized musical instruments. I believe that all theorbos are custom, or old. So be careful!
