Is this the correct gig bag (case) for my Electro 5HP/73key?
I had to send back the DC73 dust cover because it was too small, and I was going to order the GB73 gig bag but was told on this forum it was also too small for for the 5HP.
The salesman @-Sweetwater Sound said that the GB76 was the bag I needed, so before I spend $200, I thought I'd ask the brain-trust here if this is the correct case for my 5HP! or !!!

Your keyboard weights 11 kg and the gb76 case 8 kg, just 3 kg lighter.
Do yourself a favor and buy another case.

If you want, I can recomend you the one I use for my NS2 HA76.
It weights 1,1 kg, fits great and costs half the price of the nord case. Your NE5 HP is about the same dimensions.

if it's the Nord bag you want, the GB76 is the right one. GB73 will not fit it

I have the Nord 5HP/73 key, so the GB76 gig bag would be the correct fit! Thank you for the info!

This is the bag I use:
https://www.thomann.de/gr/roland_cb_61_ ... e_280391_3

From the nord official website:
Nord Electro 5 HP: 1074 mm (42.3") x 121 mm (4.8") x 344 mm (13.5")

From the thomann website, product specs:
Dimensions: 1162 x 360 x 125 mm (W x D x H)
Weight: 1.1 kg

Thomann price: €66

Cool isn't it?
As for the "roland" print, you can cover it with something, or leave it for anti-theft protection!

At the time NE3 HP73 was released, there was a dedicated nord gig bag for the model. Now that bag is discontinued and nord recomends the GB76 for the HP models, which is very heavy compared to the instrument it carries (8 kg). Of course the keyboard is very well protected in there, but for everyday use it 's quite difficult to operate.
I hope the nord people will realise that and do something about it.
