CASES AND CASES FOR KEY TOOLS

A quality keyboard case is as essential as an original AC adapter or branded patch cable. This accessory provides safe storage of the tool, convenient transportation, as a result - a long service life and an attractive appearance. Novice musicians or people who choose a gift case mistakenly assume that a synthesizer or portable digital piano is less demanding on the quality of a case or case, since the case material is not sensitive to temperature changes and does not require difficult maintenance, and problems such as a crack appeared in as a result of careless transportation, although they spoil the appearance, they do not affect the sound quality.

We will not only refute this opinion, but also tell you how to choose a case or case for keyboards.

Why is a case a necessity?

When we talk about the guitar or saxophone, these questions do not arise. Household dust, direct sunlight, humidity, dampness, sudden changes in temperature - all this negatively affects the material from which the body of the instrument is made, as a result, on the physical and acoustic properties. All of these factors lead to a deterioration in the sound quality and even to the death of the instrument. A case or case has a protective function.

The body of a synthesizer, piano or MIDI keyboard benefits from an almost complete lack of sensitivity to external factors and influence on the sonic properties. But we shouldn't forget that the sound of keyboards is not the body, but the electronic filling inside it. Household dust can negatively affect the operation of keys and controllers, and humidity and sudden changes in temperature can damage electronics. If you accidentally hit the tool during transportation, you may not notice external damage, but the impact may crack the board inside. A synthesizer carrying case or carrying case is as necessary as a similar guitar accessory. Therefore, when planning a budget for the purchase of a keyboard instrument, one should consider not only its cost, but also the cost of the cover.

What to choose - a cover or a case?

The main purpose of a keyboard bag or case is to safely store and transport the instrument. The choice in favor of one of the two directly depends on your needs. If you are purchasing an instrument purely for home or studio use, there is no need to purchase a hard case. For short-haul transportation, use a padded carrying case with pockets for AC adapter, pedals, cables and other accessories. It is recommended to purchase a hard transport case for long trips (in particular, involving the transportation of the instrument in the luggage compartment) or storage in conditions that suggest an accidental fall or damage (for example, at a rehearsal center, where instruments and equipment are stored in a small room close to each other) ...

How to choose a cover?

Covers for keyboard instruments vary in materials, sizes, the presence of additional sections for accessories and components. The cost of the cover directly depends on the following factors:

Thus, a case made of waterproof material with a high density will cost more than a regular single-layer case, the functions of which are limited to protection from dust and moisture.

The choice of a keyboard case depends on the intended use. If you intend to use the accessory exclusively for home or studio stationary storage, a thin-walled case will suffice. It does not have shock-absorbing properties, but it is quite enough to protect the tool from dust, temperature changes and other destructive factors. For transport, choose a waterproof or padded cover with comfortable handles and back straps. Separate accessory compartments provide additional transport comfort.

Pay attention also to the matching of the cover with the model of your instrument. If the description does not indicate the model range for which the cover is suitable, be guided by the size. For instruments with non-standard shapes and dimensions, there are covers and cases created specifically for such models (although they are somewhat more expensive than serial counterparts).
