Gator pro-go 88 slim case for nord stage 3 88

Post by mozart999uk »

Anyone use one of these with their NS3 88?

https://www.gatorcases.com/products/key ... pg-88slim/

Does it fit ok?

Can you fit the nord music stand / rest and a sustain pedal in the pocket on the front?

Thanks :-)

I used it with my Stage 2 88.
Fits perfectly and the front pocket holds anything.
Great bag, much better than the Nord one.

The Gator Pro Go cases are among the best I have used, excellent protection. I have one for my guitar and my Wave 2-

I see the question not answered yet.
Inspected the case on the website and I would expect the nord music stand to fit in the pocket (Case is 39,37cm tall, the pocket should be 30cm. So the music stand should fit with its hight of 29cm).
Besides that it looks quite nice, durable and versatile.
BUT I SEE A BIG ISSUE: The case has no wheels!! The total weight will be around 25kg or more (NS388: 19kg+Case: 4kg+Music stand, etc.). Backpack straps are nice, but not for such a weight and size!.

Depends on your physical condition if that weight is OK to carry over 2 or 3 floors. I wouldn't put anything additional into the pockets, though.

And yes: Something with wheels might be more comfortable.

Hello!
Just stumbled over this forum whilst searching for a replacement case for my Stage 3 88.
I bought the Gator slim 88 bag last year with wheels on, but the rivets that hold the wheels on have damaged the end cheek of my keyboard.
The retailer is offering me a full refund for the bag, but I also want the damage to my keyboard rectified, after all, it’s failed at the one job it’s meant to do!
I also have one for my Yamaha Montage 7 and that too has the same issue with the rivets, thankfully however, the rubberised end cheek of the keyboard hasn’t been damaged.
I do not recommend the Gator cases at all!!

Sorry to hear this.
The G-PG-88SLIM case linked by the original poster doesn't show any wheels (that I can see). Please, can you confirm the Gator part number so we know which Gator case to avoid?
Thanks!
