This Mixer case is ideal for the travelling musician. Its so easy to use and the beautiful thing is you never have to take it out of the case, just take the top off and you're ready to go. You can also store some small things underneath (e.g Ipod, CDs, Power Chord etc) I absolutely love it because it has made my life so much easier. I was actually playing a gig up the country the other night and my mixer case fell to the ground, Thankfully it was closed and there was not 1 dent on it, it is so strong. I Love Thomann's products, 1 very satisfied customer :-)
