Nord Soft Case Stage 76/HP front pocket

Post by nemydom »

If anyone owns Nord Soft Case Stage 76/HP (the one with the wheels). Could you please measure the front pocket size? it looks quite large on the picture... Is it big enough to carry Nord Lead 2x in it? If you could just post approx measures (LxWxD) here, I would really appreciate that.

I have the case and a Lead2x. I'll test when home... But from the top of my head I would say it won't fit.

I'll confirm later.

I'm not in front of the case now but have one at home. It is a large pocket and *might* be long enough and wide enough, but I am pretty sure not deep enough to hold the NL2X keyboard. If by some chance you could squeeze it in there, I don't think it would be a very optimal way to safely carry it - would put stress on the knobs and not really any kind of padding to protect the unit. I'd recommend using the Nord soft case for the NL2X, which is very compact and light.

I took measurements of my NS2 76 rolling bag.

It is about 34" x 14" x 1.5"

The NL2X according to the internet is 34" x 10.4" x 4.1"

You've got the depth and just about the width, but 2.5" inches shy of height needed in the pocket. I don't even think you could force it in there.

Hi,

I can confirm it fits in.

BUT!!! I would urge you NOT to do so as your NL would not be protected the way it should be.

And if ever you would decide to do it nevertheless, this would leave no room for your multiple pedals, cables, DI's, etc...

I do realize that it is not safe way to transport NL, but I would consider this case now, as I can use it for the both instruments: just for storage and/or stress free transportation in the car. Thanks again for great responses!

Wow! I'm impressed that fit in there! I would never travel with it that way! Please be careful if you do! In addition to stress on the NL2X knobs from being a tight fit in the pocket, you're also putting some additional pressure/weight on the NS2 in the cavity below the pocket.
