Frequently Asked Questions
Which keyboards are compatible with the GKB-76-SLIM?
The case is designed for slim 76-key keyboards , with approximate interior dimensions of 129.5 x 31.8 x 12.7 cm. This includes many low-profile stage pianos, synthesizers, and 76-key controllers. It is recommended to measure your keyboard (length, width, and height) and compare it to these measurements before deciding.
Does it work with any 76-note keyboard?
Not necessarily. Some stage pianos and "non-slim" keyboards have a deeper or wider case. If your instrument is bulky, it might fit better in a standard GKB-76 model instead of the Slim. Always check the dimensions.
Does it have enough padding for touring?
Yes. It has approximately 20mm of padding along with a 600D nylon exterior, sufficient for typical use in a van, car, or for carrying by hand. If the keyboard will be checked as airline luggage, a hard flight case is preferable.
Does it have wheels?
No, the GKB-76-SLIM is a soft, padded case without wheels, designed for handheld transport. Its light weight and reinforced handles make it easy to handle.
Is it water resistant?
Ballistic nylon offers good resistance to splashes and light rain, but it is not a waterproof case. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or placing it on waterlogged surfaces is not recommended.
