Keyboard bags and cases are useful accessories that protect your keyboard while transporting, or can be used simply for storing your keyboard when not in use.
Keyboard Bags / Soft Cases
A keyboard bag, also known as soft keyboard case or padded gig bag, protects your instrument from shocks, bumps, knocks, scratches and accidental liquid spills.
When not in use you can safely keep your music keyboard inside the soft case without having to worry about anything.
These soft cases are made from waterproof materials, and have strong shoulder belts, zips and pockets to keep keyboard accessories such as power adapters, pedals, and cables. Your music notes and books can also be stored within the keyboard-bag so that you do not have to search for them when you sit down to practice.
Some bags also have straps for you to attach your keyboard stand.
Some of the well known brands that make Keyboard bags are World Tour, Yamaha, Gator and Kaces.
