When shipping units, use the original shipping carton, a well padded shipping case,
or in a box that allows at least three inches of bubble wrap extending from the
greatest protrusion on

all

sides of the instrument. Loose packing material,

commonly referred to as

peanuts

provides psychological comfort, but very little real

protection.
