Thread Name: Buying a strong case for a digital piano
Subject: Buying a strong case for a digital piano
To any of those people who are well-read-up upon music gear, I am looking to get a new case for my piano. (A Casio Privia PX300.) I have had a zipped canvas-type case which has been useless, not up to the amount of carrying about my piano gets. I have more or less decided to get something like the Gator GK 288 slim case ...see link

If anyone has any experience of flight cases for guitars and keyboards, I would appreciate if you had time to let me know your thoughts. Also, if you know of good places to get a good price on cases, I would be grateful. I am in Lincolnshire, hardly known for many music shops, so it would probably mean buying online or similar.
One thing that appeals to me about the type mentioned above, rather than the trad flight cases, is that they are supposed to be about half the weight. I am no wimp but I don't want to lug my piano plus half a ton of wood about every time I play, if I can help it...
Oh, I wish I played the flute......sigh...!
Helpful suggestions would be gratefully received, suggestions involving piano, axes and bonfires, less so! :-)
