NS compact - which hard case best fit?

cleito · Post by **cleito** » 13 Jul 2010, 01:40

Hello everybody!
I just bought a Nord Stage Compact and I'm looking for a hard case to fit it the best possible with the less outside size possible.
Right now I'm using the SKB ATA 76 note case, It's from the motif ES7 that I had before, but with the NS been smaler, there is some free space inside the case, and I was thinking about getting a smaler case that fit the NS without free space, so the outside size of the case will be smaler and better for me to transport.
The only one I've found until now is the "Gator GKPE-61 note case", I think will fit, but I don't have one near me to test it.
Anybody has found a better case?
thank's

Hello again, i guess we don't have a lot people in this forum yet
I just bought a case and it was the exact length of the NS compact
the name is Gator GK-261R 61 Key Case
it's wider than I need, but the length is perfect, but i did some work with foam and now it's ok.
Now I have a small case for a big keyboard :-)

The NS Compact is indeed very "compact" for a 73 key board, including it is smaller (shorter and less wide) than many 61 keyboards so it is indeed not easy fo fina a really tightly fitting case.
I just bought the GB73 after having used two soft cases before that were both too large and I am really happy with it, perfect fit!

I am also thinking of getting a hard case for air travelling mainly, and I would look at getting a custom fit ATA case, e.g., from http://www.customcases.com/.
Most people I know went this way to get exactly the size they needed, but maybe there is a cheaper solution such as the one proposed, will look that up.

In general, a hard case for such a small footprint synth looks kind of massive, so for most occasions I will go the soft bag route - if only one could take it onto the cabin on airplanes...

Good luck!

pelican 1750 waterproof case is the best fit

Thank's
Do you use one of those?
I'm still with the gator case, but I think It could be a litte smaller on the sides.
the pelican 1750 looks great.

Excellent quality and price - and they even make them in red!
