Soft Case Zipper Problem

Hello, all. I've got a soft case for my Stage 3. The zipper is beaten up around the curve near where the top lid attaches. Both pulls are on the lid only and the zipper is inoperable. I've spent some time trying to force the pull onto the lower zipper but no joy. Is there any hope?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I guess no. I have the same problem. Additionally, cardboard is coming out of the lower end (where the wheels are), as the cloth is scratched away from many transports. The wheels are too close to the softcase so that the softcase drags on the ground when rolling the case. Poor design. I complained to Nord already but no response.

Sorry for the bad news.

I found a place in Brookline, MA called the Zipper Hospital. They repaired the zipper to like-new condition for $90. I will be taking care to treat the zippers carefully in the future so as to avoid further repairs as best I can.

Maybe get a Gator-case or something similar next time. For such a heavy keyboard, a hard shell is better. Not to speak about the "you get what you pay for"-factor.
