Thomann Midikeyboard Bag 49-1

I had my Roland PC-180A lying around and travelling with me from country to country for quite a few years now, without proper protection from impacts, dust, and humidity.

I literally stumbled across this bag while looking for something else, and decided to add to my order right away ... I admit, at the time I had no idea there were bags available for this size MIDI keyboards...

The bag is great, and for the price a real find, my Roland is finally safe and should last much longer. The bag does exactly what it is supposed to do, a perfect, sturdy protection, exactly what I need it for. The only (and I mean only) drawback for me is the depth of the bag, at least when it comes to my Roland PC-180A, it allows a little too much depth movement when placed inside the case (about 2-3 cm too deep). That is the only reason I give it 4 stars, cause I am not even sure if MIDI keyboards come as thick as this bag suggests.

Anyhow, I remedied that minor issue by keeping my old thick and soft cover with the keyboard, the cover which I used to (poorly) protect it in the past, cover it from dust/humidity while it was sitting on my desk, and being actively used.

Anyway, a great MIDI keyboard protection I certainly recommend. Just make sure you get the right size bag, as there are 2 models/sizes available, 49-1 (this one, 100mm deep), and 49-2, which is even deeper (130mm deep).

I have had one of these for a few years and it's still in good shape- zips and stitching are all intact. I have used it to transport a midi keyboard and laptop.
Just bought two more for drum hardware (hi hat, pedal and snare stand in one and 2x cymbal stands and stool in the other) and they are just long enough. I don't move this stuff around a lot and usually in a car so it's more for storage. Seemed a better option than those massive hardware cases on sale and given the quality of the original bag I have I reckon they will last a while.
There is a thin pocket at the back that you can add a piece of hardboard or thick cardboard into that makes the case really rigid. Back pack style straps would be 5 stars without a doubt.
