Manuel, you may want to modify your R&R cart with a top shelf the way I did - it sure makes life easier and you can place the keyboard on the top shelf, then use the case for a work station while setting up your rig. I posted the instructions how to do this several months ago and lots of folks have benefited from this modification.

Manuel,

If you want a great bag/case without wheels, the one I've been using with my Tyros4 is CMK04 by Levy's. (LEVY'S KYBD BAG 57 7/16" X 18 5/8" X 5 5/8"). Not sure if you can get it in USA, but when I bought it the retail was around $140+txs.

I'm very pleased with mine...very lightweight, lots of storage pockets for pedals and cords etc., and very well made...terrific overall protection.

Ian

Ian, how are those straps anchored? Is there an open-ended D-ring through them? I'm of the opinion that unless the D-ring is a continuous ring, the small gap stretches out too easily when the weight of the keyboard is taken into account.

This happened with my Pa1Xpro at 44lbs. The Levy's case obviously handles your T4. What is the weight of your keyboard?

I just double checked...the gig bag I have not the CMK04...it is this one... http://www.levysleathers.com/product;cat,772;item,1011;Keyboard-Bags-EM5_DX

I believe the CMK04 was(is) the recommended case, but we got the above for the Tyros3 we were on tour with...the Tyros4 is the same size so we kept it.

It has very convenient pockets at the ends for pedals.

I'm not sure of the size and number (it fits my T4 perfectly), as the case is tucked away under some things in my storage room and I don't want to dig it out. Perhaps this particular size is no longer sold/available as this was a few years ago.

The Tyros4 weighs about 14.5 kg, or 32 lbs.

Sorry about the mix up.

Ian

Thanks, Ian. So the Tyros is about 12 lbs. lighter than my Korg. The D-rings on the case I had would probably have stood up to 32 lbs.

I believe the posting you are referring to was from Scott Yee. It was the Fusion 10 bag with wheels 9lbs, which is no longer available.

The Fusion 9 may be an alternative.

I've got the Tyros 3 soft case with wheels from Thomann. It's pretty good although does not have a suitcase trolley frame, just well anchored wheels at one end and a grab handle at the other. Having used a full flight hard case in the past I did wonder whether to take that route again but concluded that my usage didn't merit the extra weight for the extra protection. If your scenario involves rough handling then you must get a hard case. I got the Thomann case because it is designed specifically for the T3 so the keyboard is a snug fit and does not move around, my PSR3000 suffered some case damage due to sliding around in a slightly overlong bag.
