Hi,
It is not really about Nord, but
Does someone have an issue for protecting the keyboard if rain begins to fall?

I used to put a simple tarpaulin but i would like something more adapted

I've found this

But it is expensive

Hi,

the link you‘ve set resp. the products there remind me of garden furniture accessories which you can find at DIY markets or even discounters from time to time. There they might be cheaper, I guess.

I use a grill cover like this. It goes on quickly and I don't need tie-downs to hold it in place.

More seriously, if I feel there will be rain, I keep my flightcase close to the keyboard. I use the dust protection cover to have few seconds to grab the case and pack the synth inside.

Once I had to do play in a place where there was a high risk of a rain storm (and in fact it came and heavy, luckily just for some 15-30 minutes), so I took with me my "waterproof outdoor motorbike cover" and it did the job

I agree that the Nord dust cover is a great way to instantly cover your keyboard. On outdoors gigs I always fold it and keep it within arm's reach, so in case of emergency I put it on and then have a few seconds to turn off the keyboard, unplug all the caables and take it to a safe place.

Also, I keep in my gig bag a big plastic sheet of the kind you can buy in DIY stores for covering up floors and furniture when you paint the house.
A 5x5m sheet takes up very little space and weight when folded, and can easily cover the keyboards and drum kit in an emergency.
