Cases and Bags for Musical Keyboards

The first utility of a electronic keyboard is the fact that it can be transported anywhere; the keyboardist can carry their instrument with minimal effort wherever they wish, both for pleasure and for performing. When purchasing an electronic keyboard, it is very important to consider that it must immediately be accompanied by a good bag or case for keyboards, which allows for safe transportation and protects it from external agents, such as dust, primarily. Therefore, it is important to have a good case not only if you want to take your electronic keyboard with you but also simply if you want to protect it at home when not in use. In this sense, the best brands producing electronic keyboards, such as Korg, Novation, and Rockbag, but also brands specialized in the production of cases and bags of all kinds, offer the public a vast range of products of every size, with numerous features.

There are simple covers for electronic keyboards, mainly used to protect them from dust, which are compact and may or may not have internal padding against impacts; whereas, when looking for an item for transporting your instrument, you can choose among cases with handles and shoulder straps, which can have a semi-rigid structure, more bulky but more robust, or a soft-structured case, which does not protect against impacts but is lighter and more manageable when not in use, and intermediate solutions, like soft cases or bags with protective padding. Some manufacturers also offer more professional cases, completely rigid, which guarantee extreme protection against impacts and are particularly suitable for third-party transportation, such as by truck or airplane. Obviously, as a general rule, the greater the total protection offered by the case or bag, the higher the price of such an item will be.

On our online music instrument store MusicalStore2005, the offer of cases and bags for electronic keyboards is very extensive, covering most needs, and every type of wallet.

Soft, semi-rigid, or rigid case. More secure and heavy or less secure and light? These are the big dilemmas of a keyboardist. Often associating a completely rigid case with an 88-key digital piano means giving up on being autonomous in transport due to excessive weight.

Choosing one that is too light also means exposing the piano more easily to impacts. In these choices, everything depends on your transport habits, the possibility of being helped, and the value of the piano to be protected. Nothing prevents you from having more cases for different situations based on the change of variables involved!

However, many semi-rigid bags are equipped with wheels that facilitate dragging the weight, all to the benefit of your back! There are bags and cases of all types and for all keyboard sizes, in any case, always compare the internal measurements of the case with the dimensions of your instrument.
