Carrying case or gig bag for CT-S1000V

[Patrick Leach]

I thought I had located a proper  case in the Casio SC 650 so I ordered one. It arrived Friday and is not what I expected. The dimensions are fine, however it's end loading and can only has backpack style carrying handles. Both deal breakers for me. I'm in the process of returning it but would like to find something of similar size with conventional side loading and regular handles. There are tons of cases available but so far they are all 15" to 16" wide and the CT-S1000 would be bouncing around in all that space.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I ended up getting a case that is 15" wide.  I slide the Styrofoam endcaps from the CT-S1000V shipping box over each end of my CT-SkV and that keeps it from sliding around too much.  There are not many gig bags out there for a 10+" wide instrument!

Gator GKB-61 Slim looks promising

That looks like the best fit for a gig bag with handles.  Great find!  The CT-S500 and CT-S1000V are roughly 36-1/2" by 10-1/8" by 3-5/8".  (930 X 258 X 91)

Arrived today

Ordered it from Amazon

It's awesome!!

Top load like most cases instead of end load like the Casio 650.

Conventional handles instead of backpack rig

Well padded and very appropriate size. It has velcro straps to secure the board in place. Costs $10.00 more than the 650 and unless you are a fan of the backpack straps, seems like a great product

I just got this rifle bag and it fits very well with extra pockets for pedals and cables.

I bought this one this week. Dimension seems too small but it’s a perfect fit and good value for money.

If your looking for something more robust, I've just received my new case. I too have gone down the rifle case route and bought a Nuprol Large Hard Case with pnp foam. It doubles the weight of the keyboard but is still all together under 11kg, including AC adapter and sustain pedal. If I could work out how to add pictures here I could show you! Very happy with it.

Hi, I got the Gator case mentioned above and it's a perfect fit.  I managed to get a deal on it, otherwise I wouldn't spend 1/3 the price of the keyboard on a case.

I've been curious though how those  soft rifle cases are working out, they don't seem like they would have the height.  Can anyone comment?

The one I referenced above fits fine height wise. There is a divider that is intended to divide the main compartment for two rifles. But  it is anchored by velcro and can be moved to top for extra padding.

Ha. I took it on vacation a couple weeks ago.  In the hotel elevator, a guy said to me “looks like you are prepared”. Took me a few seconds to catch his drift 😊

I'm guessing the 38" given that the keyboard is 36"  and change, but I would love to know as well. 

 

I might go for the rifle case and save $30 over the Gator.   Just bought this keyboard about 10 minutes ago for about $315
