For out of stock stuff like the above, I’ve been using an interesting free tool to monitor Amazon stock, it alerts you when something comes back in stock. It’s at http://www.azproductsnatcher.com.

I bought the Musicians Gear 61-Key Keyboard Gig Bag from Amazon/Musicians friend. For the money you can’t beat it. You also can’t beat the bag, and I mean that literally. It has about a half inch of foam, protected by a nicely rugged material that is sure to wear and stand up to a lot of abuse for a long time.

I was perplexed when trying to decide which bag to get, wondering just how much protection they each had. Since I bought this from the picture, it was hard to figure out. So someone else in this position would like to know, that if you plan on transporting your 61 key keyboard occassionally, it is great for that. If I was a roady, with frequent gigs, I would be looking for a hardshell case, with a thick foam interior to really do the job.

Since this case is thick fabric, and a half inch of foam, it will prevent your keyboard from getting scraped up transporting it around, and will be forgiving when you give it a light bump, but for serious protection, you need a hardshell case with thick foam.

I don’t want you to misunderstand me, I love this gig bag. It is exactly what I need, and the price is almost too good to be true. You can’t beat it. The side has a larger pouch that will fit a laptop or some gear, like your footpedals. It measure internally 12 1/2″ x 10″ x 1 1/4″. If you measure it from the outside it is more like 14″ x…for example. There is a smaller pouch sewed onto the outside of the laptop pouch so to speak, you could put a foot pedal in there, maybe two.

I couldn’t see the more expensive bags being made out of better material, but I could see a lot thicker foam, to protect the keyboard against banging into a door jamb for example.

I see that this model to fit the 61″ is currently out of stock, but is still available in the different number of keys size, so I think I will paste this review over there as well.
