Gator GKB-61 SLIM bag as an option for a Nord SW 73?

Post by michael_C1 »

I'm wondering if anyone has tried this particular Gator GKB-61 SLIM keyboard bag with an Electro 73 SW?

The dimensions are close, but the bag is 2.5 inches too narrow. Since it's a bag, there's some flexibility, but I don't know if there's enough, and I'd hate to buy this and not have it fit.

Why not buy the Nord bag? Several reasons: 1) Why advertise you're carrying a Nord, since it's much more likely to attract thievery, skullduggery and such, than a generic keyboard would; 2) a red bag shows dirt more easily; 3) I don't LIKE red bags :mrgreen:

So, has anyone tried the Gator bag? And I wouldn't mind hearing if there are other options too.

I have this Gator Gig bag for my Prophet 6, and it is awesome (I have the 49 note version)-



I would not recommend at all getting a 61 size case for a 73 note keyboard-

Thanks for the reply DJKeys. I've had several Gator cases and bags myself and I agree that the quality is great.
But I don't entirely agree about a 61 note case not being right for some keyboards with more keys. I've had cases and bags several times where it works just fine, since every keyboard is different, with mod/pitchbend wheels or not, bulky/thin casing, etc.
I don't know about you, but over the years I've accumulated a LOT of cases because there's just no standardization of sizes between manufacturers. Unfortunately, nothing in my collection fits my Electro 4SW73 :sad:

Well, 61 or 76, you can't go wrong with the Gator Pro Go series-
