...what is the best way to prepare a saxophone for shipment? I have my vintage Conn alto from the 1920s that I am wanting to ship off to my son on the West Coast, and other than the Protec padded case, what precautions should I take to ensure that it arrives intact? Should I wedgeeee the keys (with polyethylene foam, cork is so last century), or what?
I've already padded and isolated the loose items (mouthpieces, neck and so forth), and the case seems pretty robust But, I've never done this before, so I seek your help in advance.
