HOW TO CARRY YOUR INSTRUMENT
When not in use, we recommend that you always keep your instrument in a
high-quality case or gig bag. This will reduce the possibility of damage
due to mishaps and sudden changes in climate or atmosphere.
When placing your instrument in its case, be sure that all the latches
are securely fastened. Carry the case with the lid towards your body. In
the event that the case falls open, the lid will fall against your body
and help prevent the instrument from falling out and suffering damage.
Never put your instrument in the trunk of your car. Extreme
temperatures, even on moderate days, are often found in such a closed
environment. Likewise, never place anything on top of your instrument.
If you transport your instrument via common carriers such as airline,
train, or bus, your instrument may be subjected to rough handling and
severe environmental changes. For these reasons, a cargo approved
hard-shell or flight case would be required.
