Re: Should I loosen the strings when traveling by air?
My Kentucky KM-505 averages around 3 flights a day, 15 days a month. I never loosen the strings, and I'm quite impressed as to how well it holds it's tuning. Only real affect is going from Minnesota to Miami to Phoenix, and watching humidity play heck with everything. I'm also impressed to just how well it holds up to some pretty rough handling. It lives in a Boulder Alpine gig bag and does quite well.
