Durable nylon construction, interior restraints, and plenty of padding keep your instruments safe from shifts and shoves during transport. The GKB gig bag is the easy, worry-free way to get your rig to the gig or the studio session and home again. If you need reliable protection for your 61-key keyboards and MIDI controllers, then Gator's GKB Keyboard Gig Bag is the one you can depend on.

Gator GKB-61 Keyboard Gig Bag at a Glance:
  • Convenience and protection for the gigging keyboardist
  • Quality Gear from Gator
Convenience and protection for the gigging keyboardist

Constructed of durable nylon, the GKB-61's exterior sheds water like a duck and keeps your gear high and dry. The lightly padded interior and three rubber skid strips on the outside prevent damage from impacts when you set the case down or bump into the stage door during load in. To keep your keyboard from flopping around, Gator added padded straps to make sure your instrument stays in place. On the front you'll find a large zippered storage pocket perfect for pedals, cables and other oft-forgotten accessories. The specially designed comfort carry handles are reinforced and easy on your hands even with larger loads. The heavy-duty zipper closure lets this case open up wide to make getting your keyboard in and out super quick and easy. And since it's a bag, it's much easier to tuck away than a large road case making your gigging life easier than ever!

15 years in the making

I was reorganizing my storage with my old touring and gig cases, stands etc and thought I would do a quick review on some things based on how they held up over time. First let me address a reviewers comment on size. First, based on his keyboard being the Jupiter-X its listed as 45" on Rolands website, as you can see thats already going to be an issue. I highly recommend getting your specific keyboards official dimensions. Not all 61 key keyboards fall into the 37"-41" mold. That being said lets jump into my situation as you can see from my title this is something I purchased long ago. I pulled up my purchase history and it was on 10/10/2007 that this was purchased along with a Korg Triton Extreme 61. That keyboard was 43" in length and the internal specs of the case was 42" knowing that there was going to be about 3/4" give on both sides I was ok with this. The build quality of this case as you can see 15 years later was pretty great all things considering. This is what I need anyone looking at the vid and pics to have at the forefront.. my keyboard was just over an inch longer than the internal dimensions so that buldge put excess stress on the sides which you can clearly see from the tearing that developed. If I was to go back in time I would still get the same case and maybe do some slight tweaks to address that issue as well as a couple others that are the weakness of many keyboard gig bags. That major weakness is the side bottom area. When you are walking with your gig bag that front/rear curved section at the bottom is where alot of accidents/contact is made, from stairs, wall edges, loading in and out of vehicles etc etc. I believe this is what damaged the corner of my zipper track. Let me say the zippers are of super great quality and outside that corner zipper track I had no other zipper or zipper track issues. The front pocket is quite ample and I was able to store my damper and expression pedals as well as cables and other small items. The padding inside is quite ample, I added extra padding from my tour cases to protect my keyboard from my heavy pedals. In conclusion Gator built a pretty solid case that held up over the years. It's retired to storage inside my Gator TSA touring cases. However hypothetically, IF I needed to transport my Triton Extreme (yea I still own it) to a studio session well I will feel quite comfortable with it in this 15 year old abused Gator case. Lol thx goodness I won't have to worry about lugging around that 37 lb keyboard ever since Korg created the Triton/TritonExtreme VST and along with a controller keyboard packed in a Mono case traveling is a breeze.

Just large enough for the PSR-E473

I was looking for an inexpensive padded case for my new Yamaha PSR-E473 (61 keys). I'm by no means a musician needing a case to go to various gigs, so I was interested in something 'decent' (inexpensive). This case more than qualifies. Sweetwater's Case Finder suggests the GKB-76, but I didn't want the larger case. I physically measured the keyboard and compared it to the GKB-61's dimensions and felt it would work. Well, it's quite tight (but getting easier), so I'm happy with my choice. If you don't mind the extra length of the GKB-76, that one would probably be a better choice for this keyboard for most people.

Perfect!

Perfect in all ways. Great fit, functional--padded in right places, tie-down straps work correctly, good handles, easy to carry.

Perfect for my needs

This is perfect for my 61 key arranger. The interior design of this protective bag/case is very well thought out and wherever you might need to take your keyboard it's safe and it will not move in this case. there are some zipper sections where you can keep music and I keep the music stand for my keyboard in one of those zippered sections. And pedal cable and other electronic cables in another. The reinforcement of the handles is excellent and this is just a perfect bag to protect your keyboard indoors if you don't have it up and available all the time or when you take it out. Great bag. Thanks Gator
