Todd, you may very well find that you are not permitted to take it on with
you  as carry-on.  You may have to check it in as Hold baggage.  Trade
tools are among the items that are not permitted in the cabin.

Coming back from France, I was permitted my tuning lever as carry-on by a
dubious Air France staff member, but on the London to Glasgow flight, I
was made to check it in as Hold baggage.

Best,

David.
