zxcvbnm098 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Does anyone have a contact for getting a custom gig bag made? A couple of the places I knew of seem to have gone out of business in the last few years. I do know of Glenn Cronkite, who makes great stuff, but a nylon bag is running almost $700 for my Kurzweil from them. I don't mind spending decent money, but that is bit above my pain point. Thought the group might have others? Thanks in advance.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

16251 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Mooradian Cover Co I have had custom made bags from this company. It was many years ago. Back then the price was reasonable for a customer made product. Search for Mooradian Cover Co.

Griswold Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I got a custom Mooradion soft case made for my Forte several years ago & it is beautiful. Unfortunately, I believe the company is no longer in business.

Thanks for the link to their site. Interesting history to the company and the products look great -- neat to be able to select features needed -- and I'll be saving that site info for sure.

Groove On Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 There are several thriving custom gig bag makers in the Philippines. Unfortunately, they don't ship overseas, they only deliver locally; so you'd have to organize something through friends to get it shipped to the U.S. I have several business interests there, so I was able to get one made for the Casio CT-S1 during my last visit. Prices were approx. US$60-100 per custom bag. The outfit I used also sold "beer-proof" keyboard/amp covers for around US$10. This is the company I used. https://www.facebook.com/BastiGigbags/ A few more custom gig bag makers (based in the Philippines). https://www.facebook.com/dmaxxgear/ https://www.facebook.com/MiGigBags/ https://www.facebook.com/gigbagph/ Here's the custom Casio CT-S1 bag (US$60). Last photo is the "beer-proof" keyboard cover (US$10). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groove On Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Those look quite nice. Ironically one of the bags I need is for my Casio CT-S1 as well. Yes, Casio's travel-friendly keyboards, are just asking for budget gig bags; that don't exceed the cost of the instrument. The CT-S1 bag Casio currently offers is nice, but it's hard to find in stock - and it won't protect the keyboard if you have to check it. FWIW - the 3 times I've flown with the custom bag, the airlines preferred I hand carried it vs. check it in. Though I'd feel comfortable checking that bag as long as it's marked "Fragile".

sunspot Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Wow that's a sweet bag for $60. Probably can't get anything less than 2x the price for something like that in the US.

Now I gotta come up with an excuse to go to the Phillipines. Or -- Groove On -- maybe you could become a distributor for the company.

cjfox Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I got a couple of speaker covers made by this guy: www.zeuscovers.ca Very reasonable pricing, great products. He's Canadian, so even less if you're pricing in USD.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zxcvbnm098 Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 I wanted to follow up to my query from last month to report I ended up with a Studio Slips bag that I am very happy with. I took all of the options available and it came out to $250, which is a very fair price in my book. The quality is wonderful, and I plan to order one for my Nord E5D next, as my Nord bag is starting to come apart. Even with the double padding option, it's still slightly less than my Nord bag, but all in all it's perfect for my needs. Big thanks to all who responded with great suggestions! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawback Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Studioslips made a clamshell bag for my SSv3 a few years ago. At the time it was so new I think she used it as a template. Great bag and good choice. Quote ____________________________________ Rod Here for the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamanzarek Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I have multiple Studio Slips covers for my amps. The only Keyboard cover I have is a padded clamshell for my Fender Rhodes Piano Bass. Studio Slips was the only maker that had it on their list of products and it fits perfectly. I also have a clamshell for a QSC K12.

timwat Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I'm another Studio Slips customer. I found them a great company to work with, and am glad they're still in business given everything we're all dealing with. Quote .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
