hi michael

>traveling with a doepfer portable case -- would you put it under

>additional suitcase / box it sure looks like a flight-safe case,

i´ve flown a lot with my a100 and had to put it under the plane many
times. i´ve always done this with the a100 as is, no additional
suitcase--and so far i haven´t had any problems.
that said, i prefer, if possible, to take the doepfer on the plane with
me; this isn´t always possible, though.
hope this helps
with best regards
