ytlevine Member Registered: 02/27/08 Posts: 132	Anyone used both the Gator GK-61 and the G-PG-61 that Dave mentioned? Obviously one has wheels and one doesn't, and there's that weight difference as a result, but not sure which one is a better bag... Thanks!

tony mads usa Senior Member Registered: 01/16/02 Posts: 14376 Loc: East Greenwich RI USA	For my Pa900, I have been using a Gator case (dont know the model) I purchased from Donny a while back ... It's starting to break down - problem with the main zipper ... not sure what I should replace it with when the time comes ... _________________________ t.

Bernie9 Senior Member Registered: 09/21/02 Posts: 5521 Loc: Port Charlotte,FL,USA	I have the same problem with my Gator 76. The zipper is starting to pull out at one corner,not splitting apart though. I suspect the repeated stress of putting it on end to carry it. I have had it for years and can't complain. The fold over padded straps are very good protection. _________________________ pa4X 76 ,SX900, Audya 76,Yamaha S970 , vArranger, Hammond SK1, Ketron SD40, Centerpoint Space Station, Bose compact

I have the zipper problem on my gator 76 case also there should be a way to fix zippers on these things or maybe design with out a zipper with latch downs like a flight case?

It still is a rag tag solution. _________________________ pa4X 76 ,SX900, Audya 76,Yamaha S970 , vArranger, Hammond SK1, Ketron SD40, Centerpoint Space Station, Bose compact

Def check out the Gator G-PG61 - it's awesome. Well worth the high price. _________________________ No longer monitoring this forum. Please visit www.daveboydmusic.com for contact info

Beakybird Senior Member Registered: 01/27/01 Posts: 2227	The Gator G-PG 61 is the ultimate soft case, and the zipper is high quality. Since the case is semi rigid, there's less possibility of the zipper getting damaged. My SX900 fits nicely.
