Korg PA3x Thick Padded Soft KB bag suggestions?

.I have a Nice THICK padded Gator GKB 61 KB bag thats I used for the pa500 which is much bigger all around then the Pa3x.....
it works but is way too large. What are you people using for the PA3x that has a tighter fit, thick padded w/ pockets/zippers etc..?

Great bag, but back-ordered until Jan

... like the PA600 ?????

Nearly 6" too wide inside for the 61 PA3X...

These cases look good and they are cheap

I am thinking about getting a few, anyone have any experience with this company? I can't wait until January

Here you'll see what the owner of that case company had to say about the Tuffbox. Also, it has no hinges.

A keyboard bag will weigh 7-10 pounds. The Guardian CK-010-61 weighs 13 pounds.

Hi Scot I have the guardian 61 here used it for my S910 nice case....but the pa3x is much smaller .....the gardian is too big so is the gator GKb 61....I need a tighter fit..

PA3x 61............38.58 x 14.41 x 5.71 inch

the korg kronos 61 case could be an option also..

KRONOS CASE

For what it's worth. I like and use the Guardian CK-010-61 for the Pa3x, I also have the 76 key model for the T4.

Well, the case is 100 dollars and although it doesn't have hinges it is ATA and moisture resistant, you have to have some kind of trade off, I guess hinges would add weight.

This is the company that makes/sells the Tuffbox. They only sell to the 48 states. But mainly the owner said they were not as sturdy.

Donny,
That Ultimate Support case is a great fit for my s950, but the Korg will flop around in it.

Might not be padded as much as some, but it's a pretty close fit.

Thanx Dave My Gator61 GKB 61 will have to do for now....
until I can take the Pa3x around and try them in a few stores to make sure it's a snug fit...no sense guessing...

I just sold my Kaces KB13 bag I used for my Orla as it was too small for my pa500. That might do for you; you're 2 days too late for mine though..would have given it to you...I really like their bags. I've had 2 of them and never got a tear or broken zipper. 38.75 x 16.5 x 6.5

I still feel, once you get up into the $3000+ keyboard arranger range, especially as, if damaged they may not be so quick to find a new one to replace, a hard case of some sort is still a good bet, despite the slight weight increase. With many of them having wheels at one end, you still end up rarely ever toting them.

But assuming that your so far accident free life will continue that way is quite a gamble when you consider the inconvenience and possible disruption to your usual gig setup.

The more sliders and knobs, the more that dropping something on top of it can do permanent damage goes up. And don't even get me STARTED about how impossible it is to work an arranger like the PA3X if the touch screen gets cracked!

Better safe than sorry, I have always said.

I like the bag in the middle for extra protection for the screen, but the PA3X's sliders are all out on the top left section, where it looks a bit more unprotected...

Something I haven't seen yet, but would perhaps make sense is a bag, but with an ABS lid. After all, the underside needs little protection, it's the top where all the delicate stuff is...

I tend to like hardshell all around. That said, I'm using a Gator bag with my Pa1XPro and haven't experienced any problems. Then again I don't toss the thing around (that's Tarzan territory, anyway).

I've hung on to my old SKB hardshell (the Pa1XPro doesn't fit inside it) for when the Pa900 turns up at some future date. Anyway, if the closest fit you can find for any keyboard isn't quite snug enough, it's cheap enough to add a few blocks of foam.

I'm the only one that touches or transports my gear, and it travels in my car, not a truck bed - I will always use padded bags. At the job, I fold all cases into the one KB case and it usually hides under a banquet table ... out of sight. Road cases defeat the whole purpose of light and portable. Unless truck or air travel is onvolved, I'll only use padded bags.

Donny,
That KB13 looks like a nice fit.

Much like you Dave, I am the only one who handles, and/or transports my gear, and it all fits in my Honda Accord...I use padded bags (high quality) as well, including one each for my Yamaha MS-60S powered speakers, which are over 20 years old and look and perform like the day they were bought.

If I was in a band or duo and using a gear truck, or my own keyboard was transported by air (for clinics Yamaha ensures there is already one set up at the location) I would definitely invest in high quality hard shell road cases, but, luckily I have never needed them in many years.

I agree with you all the way ,...Thanx Dave ...

breakfast soon?

I'm happy to report the KACES KB13 - 61 keyboard bag fits the KORG PA3x very nicely..triple zippered pockets and decent padding, a good fit too,only about 1 1/2" or so all around.
Great price good bag!
