Recommendations for sending viola / violin to college?

<p>Violadad - thank you for all of the expert information. We are such neophytes in the area of transporting the violin! D plans to play in the orchestra in college, but will not be a music major. There will be occassions she will need to fly home or back to school with her violin, so she can practice while visiting. I just measured her everyday case and it is 31+5+10=46. It is your basic Bobelock case. If you really cut it close, I guess it would fit into the 45" guidelines. The principle airline she will use will be Southwest. Would you recommend a ‘travel’ case for flying?</p>
