How do we transport Kronos?
Hi everyone,
What type of hard/soft case or bags do you use for transporting your keyboard(s)?
A Stagg KTC 128 would fit my 73 Kronos but maybe I can change my mind if you know more brands and models. This one is has wheels and will fit the trunk of my car. http://www.scottomusique.com/photo.php?art=91118
Pros and cons regarding hard case and soft one?
Thanks.

Re: How do we transport Kronos?
If you plan on gigging on a regular basis, I'd definitely recommend a hard case, or at least something other than a gig bag. The Kronos won't hold up very well if its transported in something cheap.cristianicolau wrote:Pros and cons regarding hard case and soft one?
The Gator GK76 might be a good choice for you.

KORG hardcase
First I had a Gator case, but one wheel broke immediately. It took Gator ages to replace it, so I ordered the KORG hardcase for the Kronos. It looks a bit flimsy, but it works well (just needed some WD 40 on the clamps
). It is very light too (Gator case was a lot heavier).

Wooden hardcase. Heavy but safe.

I use a Clydesdale Custom Cases roadcase. It's heavy but I want my baby kept safe. I work there so I built it myself. It has wheels, is fully foamed inside and I know that my Kronos would easily survive being dropped.

I'm using this one - very robust, perfect fitting (because of custom making for the Kronos) and 30% lighter than a wooden case. Of course, also availavble for 61 and 73 keys and for those who like, with wheels.

what about this?

I'm interested if the case is robust and resistant. It looks nice though.

I've had one of these for years and years. Still good as new.

I have a Thoman case ... works very well.

Been using this gator case for my 61 key Kronos for about a year. Very happy with the build quality so far. http://www.gatorcases.com/p/111157-281/gkpe-61-tsa
I would rate it a bit better than my SKB case of similar style

I have the same 61 key Gator case. Works well, about 1.5-2.0" of space when placed in case tight to one side or the other. Enough room for a power cord. A smidge on the heavy side but not that bad, and its pretty rugged. Has lifetime warranty.amosdef wrote:Been using this gator case for my 61 key Kronos for about a year.
