I took DNJ's lead and purchased the same case he recommended to me for my micro-Arranger KB and finally got it today. It's very lightweight, well built & includes lots of padding and solid zippers with a dual zippered side pocket to boot, and can be either worn 'across the shoulder' or simply carried 'at your side' with included straps. Though not a perfectly gloved fit, The dimensions still pretty closely match the micro-Arranger dimensions. Having this micro-Arranger setup will certainly open up a lot of new playing opportunities, both casual gigging as well as places to take it to inspire composing music as well as personal music making enjoyment.
I had also considered the
Korg MicroBag, but it doesn't have as much padded protection or a dedicated zippered pouch, and it doesn't include a shoulder strap, limiting carrying it to at your side by its hand straps only.
The beauty of the microARRANGER (for me) esp living in a large metro area with a good mass transit system like
BART is being able to avoid both the 'Golden Gate' & 'Bay Bridge' bridge 'tolls' and resultant freeway traffic congestion ,as well as exorbitant downtown San Francisco parking fees when I need to go there for work and play. I only live 12 walking min from the nearest BART station, so it should be a breeze to grab & take along this 12-13 lb total (with case) microARranger keyboard setup just about any where.
I believe this ultra lightweight portable all in one arranger is simply 'keeping in step' with the increasing desire for small portable gadgets.
Thanks again Donny for recommending
this case.
