Hi Guys

I have a ATA case for my Tyros 5 61 that is very nice, but, a little heavy, I missed sometime, someone posted that there is a Soft case with wheels for the Tyros 61 keys....Could you please tell me the brand and model??
I just purchased a Gator GK76, and is a little to large....I will return it, but, I would like to ask the salesperson to instead, get me the case that one of you guys use.
I really appreciate it, since my hearth episode, I was told to take it easy, and lifting near 70-80 Lbs, is not light....
Thanks in advance.
Manuel

If i have learned anything in the past, then its never to use a softcase... It just does not protect your expensive gear well enough.

Espescially if you go for a case with wheels, the extra weight of a good hardcase is not to bad. The protection it offers is worth the extra weight in gold..

Bachus do you play out professionally?..That is a total myth,...
I have NEVER used a case with wheels who wants that weight...and what about all the other gear speakers, stands etc etc ?
any pro player gigging should use a Rock & Roller multicart... http://rocknroller-multicart.myshopify.com/

and I have NEVER had any problems with protection in 50 years gigging. This is what I use with my S950 & love it great protection

not anymore in the last 20 years or so... I used to play in a band back then, and i never regretted having a solid case... We used to travel a lot...

I just cant think of a reason to buy a bag with wheels if they are just as expensive as a bag with wheels..

Years ago with teh band on tour we used flight cases only because of packing in trucks every night......but for local gigs its not needed.

The case I use is plywood reinforced, very light, no wheels, and I put my keyboard stand, fan and speaker extensions on top of it while transporting on the rock and roller cart. Now, that plywood is just 1/8th inch thick and would not support a lot of weight, but it will protect the keyboard from damage if someone were to inadvertently bang into the case with something. I'm not sure if a tyros will fit into this case, though.

I have seen also that SKB61, unfortunately in no longer available, also, the Guardian case (Gary), is also no longer available, and also if they make it, dont know if they have it for the T5 61 size....I
I like the idea to have it reinforced with Plywood.
And yes, I own a Rock and Roller cart, the R14, is a life saver, instead of lifting or hauling all the gear yourself, just pull or push.

That said just get a tough soft case, save some money and take your wife to dinner wink and if you Bungee it correctly on the cart nothing will happen.....I don't think your going very far from car to stage?
