LeesKeys Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Just purchased a Kurzweil PC3 76. I need to buy a gig bag. I'm not interested in a hard shell case. The board won't be traveling much- just in my car between home and church. Something quality at under $100 would be ideal. Music123.com has a SKB SKB-KB76 for 79.00. Any recommendations?

Dglavko Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I had a Gator case with wheels for my PC3x and found the whole rig too heavy. So much that I traded it for a PC3. For my PC3 I went with a soft padded bag the retailer threw in for free and like that a lot - so much that I kind of regret getting rid of the PC3x. I should have sold the Gator case instead as it would have been manageable with a soft shell bag, albeit without much protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogmonkey Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 The big Gator bag I have is way too big for the PC3x. It doesn't make any sense. What keyboard is that big? Nothing's that big. It makes it really hard to carry that heavy board. I need something that fits that board snugly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reidmc Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I have a KACES Keyboard Porter for my Kurz PC3LE6. http://www.kaces.com/detail.asp?product_id=KKP_Series I like it. Probably going to be over $100 though. LE6 is a 61 key board. . .I think I paid $115. "The Doomer allows the player to do things beyond which are possible without the accessory."

Jill Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I like the Gig Skinz line, if you can find one discounted on craigslist or ebay. I got a pair of the discontinued silver model made for the Triton LE76 off ebay for under $200. My Kurzweil SP2 fits nicely, pockets are right size for sheet music and pedals. I'd sell you my spare if you lived in Oregon. Burt Johnson: I don't drink because drinking affects your decision making. Arthur: You may be right. I can't decide.

Well, since you don't specify WHICH bag you have, I'll go with the following off-the-cuff list: Korg OASYS Roland Fantom (any 88) Yamaha Motif (any 88) Korg Triton Studio 88 Kurzweil K2600X Roland V-Piano ...any of the above are bigger than the PC3X, at least in terms of depth.

Skinny Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Gig bags are for amateurs. Stuff and things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canoehead Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Although you clearly state that you are not interested in a hard shell case, I respectfully suggest you reconsider. A lot can happen between home and church and a hard case is relatively cheap "insurance" for your expensive board. I once slipped on the stairs in my own home, sending my VK 8 tumbling down. I don't think it would have survived in a gig bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeesKeys Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 I ordered the Gator GK-76. It got mixed reviews on Musicians Friend, but it was in my price range, and I don't anticipate dragging it across any mountains or dropping it from an airplane.

Ken Beaumont Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I use the GK-76 for my SP4-7 no issues here. The wheels are a nice addition.

Aidan Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Be careful how you handle it in transport, even in the case. I have had a couple of keyboards suffer dings while INSIDE Gator cases - the padding is VERY thin.
