If you are a musician, one of your most valuable possessions is most likely your instrument. Therefore, you probably want to do everything you can to keep it out of harm’s way. Most large instruments, like the keyboard, are troublesome to carry around if you travel a lot for gigs and events. While performing at different places the only solution to keep your keyboard safe is carrying it in a keyboard road case.
A keyboard road case can be made of two types of fabric – hard case steel and leather gig bags. Regardless of which type you choose, you will be provided with amazing benefits, some of which include the following.
- Excellent protection: While there are many keyboard cases on the market, there are also many to chose from online. However, you still need to look for specific features that you want them to posses and most importantly, provide high quality protection for your keyboard.
- Safety: Moving your keyboard will be extremely convenient. For a musician, the instrument is very meaningful and therefore it needs to be moved around safely. Cases are designed for this reason specifically.
- Quality fabrication/protective material: A quality keyboard case will have a high-quality zipper and external fabric made of robust materials. On top of that, a couple of extra protection layers in the form of a sponge, a hard layer made of foam, thick padded shoulder straps for easy and comfortable carrying and a handle.
- Appeal: A good looking keyboard case is fashionable nowadays – it will add to the musician’s appeal and expertise. You can further personalize a keyboard case by using stickers to make it look more personal and unique.
- Carrying/Traveling Convenience: A hard case will make sure your keyboard stays intact and safe if you travel abroad via airplane or boat. Ergonomically designed handles will let you carry your keyboard around with ease. Some cases might include wheels so you can drag the instrument instead of carrying it.
No matter whether you choose a hard case or a gig bag, both have some advantages over the other in some specific area. However, most importantly, both will protect your keyboard exceptionally well and keep it safe from damage and dust. The colour options and models are huge and they usually have extra pockets for extra equipment or personal items. There is no right or wrong choice when deciding between a gig bag or a hard case – it will all come down to personal preferences, individual requirements, taste and the type of keyboard you play.
