FEATURES:
Compartments:
The main padded section, containing the keyboard. Dimensions as described.
A thin zipped pouch on the outside of the back face, will take sheets of paper or a thin folder. Maybe even a music stand. Runs the entire length of the bag.
A deeper zipped pouch on the front of the bag. This fits pretty much all of what a keys player would need - cables, PSUs, pedals, etc. Runs for most of the bag's length - roughly three quarters of the total length, centralised.
Protection:
There is an ample thick foam layer between the outer bag and lining materials.
To protect the bag itself, there's some plastic piping around the edges, and three 'feet' strips on the bottom edge so the bag isn't damaged if shuffled along the floor.
Fastening and straps
Two short carry straps on the top edge of the bag (along the zipped side). Can be velcro'd together.
One detachable shoulder strap supplied - nice and long.
DESCRIPTION:
The zip and track are nice and chunky. The material feels thick enough to hold together and protect its contents.
The carry handles are pretty strong, and the option to velcro them together is a nice touch - even better is that the velcro joining strap is padded, so won't be uncomfortable when carried over long distances.
The detachable shoulder strap running diagonally over the long zip-able edge is easy to attach and detach - the clips look thick and durable, and the strap is long enough to wear it over head and arm on my back. There's another added touch of a movable padded section on the strap so it doesn't cut into your shoulder.
There's a nice large amount of space in the front pouch, and some room to slip in paper, folders, etc. in the pouch on the rear of the bag.
NEGATIVES:
My only gripe is that there's a good 10cm extra length in the case which my keyboard (an oxygen 49) definitely doesn't need - as it's a generic case it's excusable, but I'm surprised this is the smallest I could find...
It'll be easy enough to find some foam strips to attach to the bag to make the keyboard sit snugly.
OVERALL:
The bag seems robust - not flimsy and there's padding to protect my keyboard. I won't have any problems worrying about the amount of protection the keyboard is actually receiving.
