Maybe there is...
When I flew up to Brisbane, I was on the same flight as the Australian
Chamber Orchestra. Their 'cellos get a seat each. And a special 'cello
seatbelt each.
Now a 'cello is definitely outside the carry-on guidelines... maybe you
could belt your MOC next to you (if the airline doesn't like this, you could
always borrow a 'cello case for the trip..).
Mind you.... you may have a hard time crawling around under the seats to
find the bits that fall off.
But an extra ticket (even a cheap one) for a MOC might be a tad extravagant.
