Animals!!

The Gator G-PG-61 feels very substantial, but it's very expensive. It is semi rigid.
The Gator G-KB-61 - I can't recommend. I wheel my keyboard in sideways on a dolly, and all of my keyboards have developed chips or cracks. It's true that I'm a pretty frequent gigger. I would buy a case instead of a gig bag, but it wouldn't fit in the trunk of my sedan.
I'm praying that I can keep this new Yamaha in decent shape. It's hard to sell a keyboard with chipped plastic in the corner.

Common in 50yrs of gigs never had a hard case always soft.. ..never had a problem
... What are you driving in the Baja? Lol

Hi ,
Probably wouldn’t work for a soft case, but I was really worried when I shipped my 3 keyboards that that the joysticks might break, I made a circular covered cardboard surround to protect them. They were in their original boxes though, not in a soft case.

It's not the driving, it's always the same corner that gets chipped - I think from being vertical on a cart.

The bowl around the joystick sounds like a good idea. I was thinking along those lines.

Or just buy a skb lightweight hard case protect joystick

Who made the soft case for your B-3 back in the day? LOL

I wrapped mine in a padded shipping blanket. The Dolly straps held it in place. I sure don't miss those days at all!

I bought one and had to return it. It wouldn't fit in my trunk. Hmm, maybe the corners of my keyboards are getting chipped from squeezing it into my trunk ...

Hopefully, the Gator G-PG will solve this. The padding is really thick, and the nylon outside is very rugged.

Uncle Dave's new bag looks pretty good, and what a price! 20mm of padding is above average.

B3 Legs cut and 147 Leslie were cut in half..
No case it would get all scratched and we would sand and refinish the wood it every year or 2..
