Yamaha SC-DE61 Backpack-style Soft Case for CK61 Stage Keyboard
Yamaha SC-DE61 Backpack-style Soft Case for CK61 Stage Keyboard Reviews
One of the greatest things about the Yamaha CK series keyboards is how great they are to gig with. If you're going to take your CK61 out on the road, then the experienced live performers here at Sweetwater highly recommend this backpack-style soft case. It's made by Yamaha to specifically fit your keyboard, so there's no guesswork involved, and the padding is perfectly positioned to provide the best protection for your specific model. This soft case is made of lightweight yet durable fabric, and a pair of backpack-style straps lets you keep your hands free for carrying your stand, amp, and other gear. There's also a large pocket for cables, pedals, and other essential accessories.
Sufficient But Not Great
I got this for my Yamaha CK61 and it's alright. It does the job and I couldn't find anything else with the right dimensions, but it doesn't fit as well, have enough padding, or is as rigid as I would hope.
There's about an inch of space all the way around, so the keyboard moves and shifts in the bag. Pretty lame for a custom case made exclusively for a specific model. It should fit like a glove. It has 1/4" of padding on all sides, which is enough but not ideal. It offers basically zero protection from drops and I wouldn't put anything on top of it. It's also pretty floppy, so it doesn't hold its shape too well when you carry it and the knobs and levers poke through. It has no reinforcement on the bottom for when you set it down vertically, which is how I do it all the time since it is a backpack, so it immediately began to scuff and will tear pretty soon. The backpack straps are a really nice feature.
