elsongs Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I recently went on a long vacation where I brought my Mac Book Pro running Propellerhead Reason, and used a Korg Micro Key 37 USB controller to compose music on the go (the trip included a lot of train travel, including an Amtrak trip from Los Angeles to New York, so writing music was a great way to pass the time). Unfortunately, no one makes a case or gig bag for the Micro Key 37. I ended up stuffing it in a canvas bag, half sticking out, when I boarded the train. But for my later train trips and eventual airplane trip home, I needed an actual case for the keyboard. Then I found a solution. I walked into a local music store in New Jersey and found some gig bags for ukeleles. I measured them -- they were about 25" long; the keyboard is 22" long. Sensing it would work out, I bought one of the ukulele bags ($20) and tried it out. It was a perfect fit! I ended up buying a Kala concert ukulele bag (Model UB-C). It's even got a pocket, which I store a USB cable in. If you do choose to get one of these as a case, make sure to have the back of the keyboard face the zipper side so as to not damage any keys. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/elsongs/gear/20150127_145550_zpsaoicxjho.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/elsongs/gear/20150127_145627_zpsknrmpxeq.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightbg Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Nice tip! I just grabbed one of these as a backup (along with my iPad running Garage Band) for my rig, and felt weird using the box. I'll def look into this.

DulceLabs.com Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Nice! Looks like an iPad (probably a mini) would fit nicely in that pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hart932 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Hi, i just bought the Korg Microkey 37 and managed to find a suitable 60cm long hard case for it at Aliexpress: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005001883355709.html? https://m.aliexpress.com/item/4000631402579.html? I bought the 63cm unit as its thinner & with slightly extra space for the foot pad. The first option for the 60cm hard case could actually store 2 units of the Korg Microkey 37.
