I see guys carrying 'cellos and guitars in backpacks - does anyone make a backpack for a baroque lute (in its case)?
Decades ago at the York Early Music Week a young lady lutenist turned up with a lute backpack, which impressed us all. Though Jacob Lindberg was more interested in suitcases on wheels, which were just becoming popular around then. He had this image of himself walking down the street towing three different lutes in lute cases on wheels, hooked together like cars on a train.
My viol-playing friends all swear by Colorado Cases: http://coloradocase.com/ These are light weight and can be carried like a back-pack.
