I’m looking for a very lightweight yet ‘well padded’ SOFT case for my PSR2000 keyboard. I realize that I had asked this question a while back, but just never got around to purchasing one because I was using my Technics KN5000’s case. Now I need to take out BOTH boards so a PSR2000 specific case is urgently needed.

The PSR2000’s dimensions are:

Length - - - Depth - - - Height
38-5/16” x 15-11/16’ x 6- 5/16”
973 cm x 399 cm x 161 cm

I’ve checked the catalog dimensions of many of the standard 'soft keyboard cases' and it seems that their typical height dimensions are slightly shorter in height and depth yet quite a bit longer in length than the PSR2000 is.

I’m noticed that many of the keyboard cases now include wheels so you can easily take it around like a built in luggage cart. I’m wondering if it’s worth the extra weight for this feature because I really need to keep the weight as light as possible.

I remember being recommened Levys (by Don Mason) & Kases Porter (by Uncle Dave) brand cases. Please tell me the exact 'model number' which will best fit the PSR2000.?

Also, what cases are other PSR2000 owners here using? I really need to purchase a new case SOON so feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

- Scott

Scott,
The "Keyboard Porter" is NOT a heavy case, and having the wheels and handle are a blessing for the nursing home circuit, where I only take the kb and no sound system. Open the car - slide out the kb - pull out the handle - and "off I go" !
The model was the mid-size one, I think. There is deifiatly one larger, and I THINK one smaller too. Mine is a nice, tight squeeze with a bout 4-6 inches at the side for pedals, mic, cables and power adapter.
It's in the car, so I have no idea of what the model number is, but the "#7" rings a bell. See if there is a model that is the right size with a "7" in it.

EM539DX is the bag I sell to all my 2000 customers. It fits great. It is made by Levys. The measurments are 39x15.6x6 and it fits great. Because it's a bag, a fraction of an inch off doesn't make it fit bad at all.

Hi George: I couldn't find the EM539DX listed on Levys website:
http://www.levysleathers.com/levy2002DigitalCatalog/keyboardBags.pdf

Does the EM539DX come with 1/2" or 1" thick foam padding?

I have no Idea! Nobody has ever asked that question. How can you measure it when it's all covered up with nylon and stiching! All I know is that it is very popular amongst working musicians who need a good quality padded bag. Levys makes two quality bags and the DX is the deluxe model. It is nicely made with a cotton lining inside, a nice compartment for the music rack, a pocket on each end with a velcro strap and an overside pocket with zipper in the middle and.......every case I sell says Kaye's Music Scene on the Poctket. Great advertising for me!

Hi Scott,
Check out, Pro-Tec cases at, www.ptcases.com/keyboard.htm
Click on Yamaha and the case that will fit the PSR-2000 (same size as 740) is PK-505. I hope this helps,

Kaye's Music Scene? Ok I'm SOLD !
I'll give you a call . . .

Scott,
973 cm x 399 cm x 161 cm ??????
Are you looking for a new home as well ??

Uncle Dave,

I checked the Kaces Porter website and it lists size 13 for the PSR740 (no listing for the PSR2000). The PSR740 is about the same size as the PSR2000, right?

Can you possibly double check to confirm that your case is actually size #7 and not #13. Thanks.

Scott,
The PORTER is the case I recommend, NOT the standard KB bag. There is no #13 porter.
Here's the site quote:

"Keyboard Porters available in sizes 7, 9, 11 and now size 14 for 88 note keyboards"

I really think the #7 fits, but the #9 might be a little less tight. Do they list the measurments anywhere?
