Well maybe you are lucky ... suppose the cat has pissed on the Kronos while you wouldn't have a dust cover. _________________

I have a cat and she used to use my Motif ES6 as a jungle gym platform. Thankfully she has stayed off the new Kronos. |

I also bought a Gator cover. Stretches to fit, does the job and looks good even if a little more expensive than home made solutions.
Only negative is liquid spillage which could be a problem. However I remember having difficulty locating a plastic waterproof solution at he time I bought it. _________________ Korg Kronos 88, Korg M1, Novation SL61 MKII, Roland JV1080 with Techno expansion, Roland D110, Yamaha MU80, KRK Rokit 5 monitors, Akai ME30PII midi patch bay, Behringer RX1602 mixer, ESI ESP1010e audio interface, Quad Core PC, Cubase Pro 9.0, SE X1 condenser mic.

i cover my Kronos with one i bought at Sam Ash which i dont even know
what it is and my M3 with a Ketron Dust Cover...just buy it whatever keys you have. |
My sentiments exactly. Just find one for a 76 key and it should work great!

The standard generic stretchy fabric ones work just fine, at least It does with my 88 key Kronos. I think it's only about $15. Got mine at the Best Buy musical store. Looks nice and neat because it stretches perfectly smooth In classy black color. _________________ My Music: www.youtube.com/Halunlimited

I had those from Thomann: http://www.thomann.de/de/rockbag_keyboardabdeckungen.html. But after a year almost all cracked on corners or sides and started to look cheap. So I found on eBay this guy from Bulgaria who makes custom padded covers (and bags) for absolutely any music instrument you can think of... and they look and feel great on stage or home: http://www.ebay.com/itm/KORG-Kronos-73-keys-keyboard-custom-padded-cover-/130864487285?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e78219b75. You can even customise the logo - Kronos, Korg, or your name _________________ "Your best idea is already copyrighted"

I would imagine something like that is machine washable (at least on gentle) with some Oxyclean. I've cleaned my cymbal bags that way numerous times for the same reason. _________________ ::: Korg Kronos 88 ::: Alesis Fusion 8HD ::: Kurzweil PC361 ::: Roland V-Synth ::: DSI Prophet 12 ::: DSI OB-6 ::: Korg Prophecy ::: Moog Micromoog ::: Yamaha CP-30 ::: Alesis Andromeda ::: Moog Sub37 ::: Sequential Prophet 600 ::: Korg MS2000BR ::: GSI Burn :::

Posted: Mon Mar 18, 2013 1:26 pm Post subject: EXCELLENT CUSTOM COVER |
|
|
I had a Custom Cover made for my Kronos 61. It fits perfectly and was reasonably priced. Delivery took several weeks. For a 73 or 88 you would need to specify a greater width. The spec "2 in. Down Back" allows the cover to be installed with all cables plugged in because the cover only extends over the top two inches of the back. My cover is clear anti-static vinyl but a choice of other materials is available. If you select the link below, scroll down to see the custom covers.

The gator cover although it says it is for a 76 key keyboard does fit the Kronos 73 very well. |

Of course, a custom logo/embroidery wouldn't hurt.

Wow! That's really awesome! You should try making/selling custom covers! _________________ Check me out at PianoManChuck |

I got mine custom made from (they appear to ship globally)
http://www.pianocoversonline.co.uk/korg-custom-keyboard-cover-p-6956.html
I went for the 10mm padded so that should my cat get in etc, it's fully protected.
I also asked them if they could cut a flap out the back and gave them a rough sketch for where I wanted it, they did this at no extra charge.
Wanted the flap so that the cover could go over my Kronos with all the cables still plugged in.
Here's a pic I just took of the cover from the back showing the flap, took the pic with the cover on a table not on my Kronos as I can capture what the flap looks like better.
Total cost including delivery was £47.96 that was for the 10mm padded one, they also do a lot cheaper ones.
