Howdy,

I wanted to share some pictures of a case I made for my banjo neck. It's carved out of a yoga roller and placed inside of a padded tripod case. It worked very well for my trip to Blue Ridge Banjo Camp. The pot and resonator go in my backpack and I picked up some bolts to secure the coordinator rods while the neck is off. I will mention I was in Delta comfort+ and I'm not sure the neck case would have fit in a lower seating class.

I'm curious to know what other folks have done in terms of disassembling their banjo for travel.

Thanks!
Carson

I've never disassembled a banjo for travel but know it's been done. One friend put his disassembled banjo in his big checked bag. His goal was to avoid a broken neck.

I'm curious as to when you arrived in Asheville (assuming that's where you flew) and where and when you reassembled your banjo.

By the way: Great original number. And congrats on your concert spot.

I was in Walnut.

Onto a tangent, but I find the pic on the plane quite interesting.   We haven't flown for a few years now ...  I'm 6'1" and there appears to be  a good 6" of additional knee room that isn't there in the "comfort-" seats I've apparently been sitting in.  sad
