At a Glance: Travel with Musical Instruments

Orchestras and individual musicians travel with their instruments to bring the experience of live music to audiences in every corner of the globe.

We urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the Department of Agriculture to ensure the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species permit process for travel and trade with musical instruments is efficient and affordable. We urge the Department of Transportation and airlines to fully implement and enforce laws protecting musical instruments as carry-on items and cargo.
