Inexpensive case for x6

1 Apr 2009, 07:53

I am dangerously close to getting my (long awaited) x6. Now I am pondering accessories. Can anyone recommend a cheap hardshell case that will fit an X6 and can withstand the punishment of living with a 3 1/2 year old child.

lol........ 3 year olds are very dangerous indeed!

There are some other qusetions that need to be asked here:

Do you plan to do any traveling by plane or long distance?
Do you have a budget in mind ( you said cheap, but how cheap? ) ?
Do you need extra room in the case for cables or pedals?
Is weight a factor ( long distance and bad back may need need wheels on the case. )?

I'd recommend looking something used but quality ... better than new and "cheap" ...

Some tunes and whatnot ...

Hello dead2006,

I bought a Gator GK61 which seems OK for the job - it keeps the keyboard safe in the worlds of gigs and kids. It has quite a lot of storage pockets etc. for leads, memory cards, sheet music and all that. The front webbing ripped easily though.

you can get a moulded plastic case or an aluminum flight case.

Other than that you can get a custom case made.

oops I just saw your title, inexpensive.

Inexpensive hard case doesn't exist or you might have to qualify that word.

Those ones I mentioned above are not cheap.

You could build your own with plywood, carpet on outside and soft foam bits on inside. It would be cheap but heavy though.
I have every one of these cases mentioned for some bit of gear (guitar, keyboards etc...) They are all very childproof.
