I have about a ten-year-old Yamaha 61-key keyboard and this case worked perfectly for it. If you have a keyboard near the dimensions mentioned on the page, it should fit in this and not slide around too much. I haven't transported the keyboard with it much yet, so its ruggedness will be tested this weekend when I haul it around some.

The zippered pouches in the front are a great addition for lots of things. For me, however, it is perfect to create my own studio-in-a-bag.

The big zippered pouch seems almost tailor-made for my 12" Apple iBook laptop, and a little sheet music will fit in there, too. There are additional pockets in front of the laptop-size pouch that will hold my USB<->MIDI interface and MIDI cable.

So for $15 I get a case that will let me perform and play everywhere (the keyboard can run on batteries). And its construction and shipment went well.

Recommended.

I bought the Musicians Gear 61-Key Keyboard Gig Bag from Amazon/Musicians friend. For the money you can't beat it. You also can't beat the bag, and I mean that literally. It has about a half inch of foam, protected by a nicely rugged material that is sure to wear and stand up to a lot of abuse for a long time.
I was perplexed when trying to decide which bag to get, wondering just how much protection they each had. Since I bought this from the picture, it was hard to figure out. So someone else in this position would like to know, that if you plan on transporting your 61 key keyboard occassionally, it is great for that. If I was a roady, with frequent gigs, I would be looking for a hardshell case, with a thick foam interior to really do the job.
Since this case is thick fabric, and a half inch of foam, it will prevent your keyboard from getting scraped up transporting it around, and will be forgiving when you give it a light bump, but for serious protection, you need a hardshell case with thick foam.
I don't want you to misunderstand me, I love this gig bag. It is exactly what I need, and the price is almost too good to be true. You can't beat it. The side has a larger pouch that will fit a laptop or some gear, like your footpedals. It measure internally 12 1/2" x 10" x 1 1/4". If you measure it from the outside it is more like 14" x...for example. There is a smaller pouch sewed onto the outside of the laptop pouch so to speak, you could put a foot pedal in there, maybe two.
I couldn't see the more expensive bags being made out of better material, but I could see a lot thicker foam, to protect the keyboard against banging into a door jamb for example.
I see that this model to fit the 61" is currently out of stock, but is still available in the different number of keys size, so I think I will paste this review over there as well.

Nicely padded bag for my daughter's Yamaha keyboard to take with her for traveling so she does not miss out on her piano lessons/practice. Compact and rugged and just lightweight enough. Has several extra pockets and space for accessories like the foot pedal, AC adapter, extra batteries, piano book, etc. Highly recommended.

I am sorry to have to write a negative review for this product. After having it for just 2 years, it began to break at the stress point in the lower seams and the stuffing began falling out. I am a mobile music therapist so this bag has been in-and-out of the trunk of my car all the time. However, my first gig bag (different vendor and more expensive)lasted for 9 years before the zipper broke. We have many expenses in this business and cannot afford to replace gig bags every 2-3 years.

This is a high quality bag made of dense material. The padding is adequate for car travel, but this is not the protection that a traveling musician would want. The bag is about six inches longer than my Casio keyboard needs, but the extra space comes in handy for the adapter and pedal. On the downside, the outside pockets are skimpy and I do not trust the shoulder strap to hold the instrument. I think it is a good deal for the $35 price.

bag seems well built but it's wayyyy to big for 61 key Juno GI. am sending back and will keep looking for smaller bag

Great product,Great service from Musicians Friend . This bag is perfect for a 61 key , keyboard.Has plenty of room and has zippered pockets for carrying those assecories.Great product.

Pretty well padded and seems to be pretty well constructed. My only beef is that the metal rings holding the strap are the weakest link. One of them immediately bent into unusable shape, and now I have to carry it by the handle.

I have a Yamaha PSR 2100. I had an Amazon gift voucher and decided to buy a much needed keyboard bag from Amazon.com.

I finally arrived upon the this bag from Musician's friend after some research on pricing and correct dimensions. The packing for this bag was outstanding, nice job Musician's friend!

The bag shipped in great time, under 3 days (I chose std shipping). Happy with the cushion lining for the keyboard, nice snug fit. Overall, very happy!

GREAT BAG FOR GOOD BASIC KEYBOARD PROTECTION. SO HAPPY I BOUGHT MORE THAN ONE; THANKS FOR MAKING IT REASONABLY PRICE WITH SUCH STURDY QUALITY.
