Murhy's Law most definitely applies here! Phillip, don't even 'think about' entrusting any valuable musical keyboard as checked luggage without first ensuring that it's properly stored in an 'ATA certified' hard case. Not doing this is just 'asking for' disaster. Anvil & Calzone are 2 leading manufacterers of ATA certified keyboard hard cases. Calzone recently introduced a new ATA hard case which consists of a new light material called XLT-1 . XLT-1 is a rugged polypropylene trilaminate that is 30-35% lighter than traditional plywood ATA cases. Curious if anyone here owns or has had the chance to checkout these new XLT-1 cases.
