I'm currently using a Skb roto case for a 76 key. It's just too heavy and bulky at this point. Is thereva featherlight case avail by guardian or something even better available.
Please send me any reviews and links u may have.

With the SHARP corners of the T2 that tear right thru any soft case....its not easy to find the correct one..... many players are still looking for the perfect Tyros case...why doesn't Yamaha make a custom fit one?.. These ATA cases weigh a ton OUCH! mad

I'm using a Road Runner 76 key with wheels. I put some sponges in in each of the four corners to help deal with the sharp edges. Although the fit is OK, I can't really recomend the Road Runner as it has ripped a few times. Luckily I know someone in the sewing bussiness that has patched it up.

Hi Mikey

I just ordered this case. Should have it within a couple weeks. Supposed to weigh about 20 lbs, which means it should have the same weight as the old YBTYROS and Kaces Porter III KKP-9KB both of which are no longer made. It's made out of luan plywood, the reason for the lighter weight.

I got mine with the ATA upgrade with wheels.

Mikey

The 61 is too short and the 76 is really long.

Here's a nice 13 pound one you'll like, but...........lots of money.

http://www.oostendorp-muziek.nl/Yamaha_Tyros2_wielen_30251.html

$245.49 Case
$217.54 Shipping, fuel tax, VAT
_______
$463.03 Total

For $165 shipped and only 7 lbs more the link in my previous post sounds more appealing I'm thinking juggle

Otherwise, believe me, I've checked every possible case out. The ATA case I mentioned seems to be the very best choice, for my needs anyway singer
