Rob, I've brought my "tune kit" Lever, Fork, T-Strip and mutes as carry on. I just follow the TSA rules. No tool larger than 9" My rosewood extension lever- remove the tip Felt mutes I DO explain to the TSA inspector before putting the stuff through xray that I have piano tuning tools. They hand inspect the bag. I've not had a problem (yet) just made certain to tell them up front.

If I'm going somewhere where I need something that I can't take on an airplane, I just wrap it up and FedEx (or UPS) it to my final destination (in this case, your parent's home). Then you can fly without checking anything, and all your equipment is there when you get there. To get it home, just ship it back!
