Kevin Ramessar was flying home to Kitchener from playing lead guitar in the Carole King Musical on Broadway.

He checked in his acoustic guitar, a $4,000 Czech-made Stonebridge, in a rigid case with fragile stickers all over.

When he collected the case in Toronto, the guitar had been snapped at the neck.

Air Canada has informed him that â€˜in accordance with the federal Carriage by Air Act’, its liability for damage or loss is limited to a maximum $2,075.47. They are refusing to enter into further correspondence.

Air Canada was recently named best airline for musicians.
