Whenever I fly with my pipes (an old set of Hendersons) I carry them
on the plane.  There's no way I'm going to let the baggage handlers
get their hands on any of my instruments.  When the band I'm in flew
to Hawaii, we were able to carry all of our pipes on board, but the
drummers had to check theirs.  Needless to say, when the drums came
out on the Hawaii end of the flight, we had to stand around the 
claim area and literally catch the drums as they came flying out
of the chute.  Trying to catch a flying bass drum is not very much
fun.
