[B]Hi Mike, ScottY and all

OK, I got my Kaces Porter KKP9 a few days ago. You were both right about its nice fit as far as length and width. It is a little deep, but I don't think there's anything out there smaller. I don't know if I'm going to use extra padding yet or not. I'm going to take my time on that.

>Great Scott!! (No pun intended) I'm glad you got your KKP9 Scott and you find it to your satisfaction. You're right; it is very compact considering many of the others out there are a lot longer.<

As far as the handle, its OK. It's really the little button that sticks up for the extra belt that gets in my way. Hmmmmm....let me think....Tyros...ScottY....Mike....., that's it, ...hacksaw. I knew there was a common link here someplace. lol. (Actually, I'd have to think about that for a while too).

>I thought something similar Scott! I think maybe a good pair of heavy duty wire cutters may be a better choice than the Hacksaw though. <

I did notice because of the handle that when I walk my leg sometimes hits the case.

>I guess we'll have to adjust the way we walk, now won't we. <

All in all, except for the few minor issues, I think it's a very good case. It even fits in my car, unlike the YBTyros bag which is I think 6" longer.

>I won't be able to get it in my trunk but it will fit perfectly along my vehicles back seat.<

I went to Winn-Dixe the other night. They have a large scale. I took my Tyros with KKP9 there, and lo and behold, it weighed 47 1/2 lbs. A little heavier than we all thought. I do know, I would never want to go heavier than this.

> Pssttt! Scott; I think those heavy duty scales won't weigh any thing under 500 lbs. accurately. If you've got a good home scale (doctor certified, etc.) I think you may find you get a different reading. Either that or for goodness sakes make sure your foot isn't on the scale when you weigh the Tyros at Winn-Dixe. <

I really wish they made the Tyros the same size as the PSR2000/2100. And I believe they could have. But, you know I think it was for appearance sake only. The aesthetic value.

>That's debatable. I think part of it has to do with the more sophisticated Hardware (more Hardware too) - inside the Tyros that takes up more real estate. But I agree it didn't have to be [44 3/4"] long. They could of shortened it up some.<

From what I am aware of, I would recommend this case as the best choice for the Tyros as far as a soft case with wheels. Especially if one can get one from ebay at $59.98 like I did.

>I agree; it is an excellent soft case for the Tyros. You got the best deal around too Scott.<

Best regards,
Mike
