I have some friends that regularly cart their instumnets about, one
of them (instuments) being a hammer dulcimer. Depending on the size of
your instument you should be able to carry it on most commercial
flights. The carry on compartment is large enough for items like 
portfolios and hang up suit luggage. Your instument is probably no
thicker than the hang up luggage and no larger in square inches than
a portfolio.
  A call ahead of time with deminsions in hand might be a good idea.
I would imagine you will get a sympathetic hearing.

Be happy you are not hauling around a Bass viol.
