I have used different SKB soft cases for years with different keyboards. Fot the T4 I use the SKB 61 soft bag, mainly because it's light and therefore easier to lift out of the van and into the gig. But, because it's soft you have to be careful with it. Also I had to cut down the foam at the end just a little to make it fit better. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SKBKB61/

Would you believe that SKB makes two SKB61 cases? One for keyboard and one for guitar. Incredible. Guess I used that info. Your info is even better news as far as weight.

If your friend is talking about the old YBTYROS soft case, which is no longer in production, it weighs the same as the Islands Case.
Now, if he's talking about a bag rather than a soft case, then that would make a difference. But that wouldn't be very safe for an expensive keyboard.
BUT, this guy carries his Tyros on his back and pushes a cart at the same time???? Doesn't he want to make it easier than that? I mean like as in a lot? I would never, ever carry my T4 on my back even if it was in a light trash bag. He's workin way too hard.
I move everything in one trip with a cart. My case is firm enough where you can set stuff on top of it. Personally, I use a double decker AV cart. My 2 JBL speakers fit on the bottom shelf and on the top shelf goes my keyboard, seat, equipment bag, laptop case, X stand, mic stand and music stand.
Also, of course a Rock & Roller cart is used a lot and probably would be preferable to most.
400 gigs a year and he's strapping it to his back. I still can't get over that. I hope this idea is presented to him. I'm wondering how old he is. If he's older, and even if not, I'm thinking he's asking for a back problem carrying it on his back.

If he's older, and even if not, I'm thinking he's asking for a back problem carrying it on his back. You are correct... the older, no longer being produced YBTYROS bag... which had wheels. http://www.zzounds.com/item--YAMYBTYROSHe carries on his back via the strap and drags the case with wheels behind him. He pushes a small cart with other smaller items while "dragging" the case behind him... the case on wheels. The SKB KB61 with wheels looks like the solution for him. He is a retired school teacher. So I would guess that he is in his mid 60's... I never asked his age in the las 15 years that I've known him. He is in great shape except for the fact he can't lift to a certain point. He also has an older Honda CRV and likes to pack a certain way. I'm still debating between the Tyros 4 and the Korg PA3x Pro for myself. Once I make my decision, I will get a hard case. Makes more sense to me to be able to stack items on top of the case for load in and load out.

So you know guys, I have recommended this Island case for the Tyros# and not one, but, two of my best friends, Bob Roppolo and Michael Carollo, both got their Island cases for their Tyros 4 & 2 and they are very happy with them. I already had a Gator case 61 ATTA case that is heavier than the Island cases, so, I did not had the need to get one, mine is a little heavier, and heavier duty too. But those cases ARE a GREAT value, if I did not have mine, I would buy one in a nanosecond.
