Everyone bring an instrument to YAPC, we'll do a jam. I'm bringing my guitar; I think jjohn might bring his, and gnat might bring a stringed instrument of some kind.
Carthy is a highly respected folk musician of long standing (he came up with the chord sequence that Paul Simon used for Scarboro Fair) and was the possessor of a very lovely and much played Martin guitar that, so the story goes, got lunched by an airport baggage handling system. Yes, it was in a flight case.
Mine is a Martin, but it is eminently replacable; if the airline screws up that badly, they will just buy me a new one. If mine were irreplacable, I wouldn't risk it, probably.
It's a tough call. When you're a professional musician you have to travel with your instruments. And when you're a folk musician you really can't afford to book a seat for the guitar.
