Hello All,
A couple of years ago, I finished my show and the guy who followed me flung open his keyboard stand, plopped his keyboard case on it, Removed the lid (come` a DJ coffin), plugged into power and to his amp and goes. I didn’t have an opportunity to speak with the guy nor do I know who he is. Since then I’ve searched for such a case without any luck. Anyone know of such a case?[b][/b] It very well could have been a DJ coffin as he had ample room for a small mixer and cables (that were already connected and ready), but it didn't have the height or depth of a coffin.
Ciao,
Jerry

Its called a "tray case" in which the top pieces latches to the bottom and the bottom stays put. I had one custom made for my Yamaha EMX 512 mixer and I now see there being mass produced and available on Ebay. I contacted one of the case companies who advertises on Ebay about making one for my keyboard and they said no problem, only the bottom piece would have a 1.5" lip so you have to know if that will interfere with any plugs or whatever connected to the keyboard.
Let us know how you make out

Hi Jerry,

Any custom case maker should be able to make a case to your spec. Our store uses a company over here, gothardflightcases.co.uk and they have made several cases like you describe over the years for us.

I would suggest you contact a case maker, and see if they will do one for you. With our supplier, we need to give him a rough drawing of what we want, he gets the measurements for all the bits of kit, comes back to us with a price for soing it, and then makes it once we give him the order.

John

If I understand what you are driving at, wouldn't the case in this link work by just using it upside down? Only weighs 10-12 pounds on top of it. This one fits a Tyros but I know they make others.

on these I don't see where the front drops down & Top comes off.?
These look very cheap? I'm looking to play the Kb while its still in the case.

This is a mixer case but just imagine it with different dimensions to fit a keyboard

Deinitly NOT what I was expecting at all..I'm talking about a fold down front flap. The Kb never leaves the case & remains on the stand.
