Solidly built but too heavy
As to be expected from Nord this case is of excellent quality- stable with good internal padding, fitting the instrument very snugly.
However at ca 9 kg it is simply too heavy, making a total weight when packed with insturment, pedals etc of well over 20kgs.
Considering that the keyboard itself is not that heavy, I wonder why it was necessary to build such a strong case.
Unfortunately by the time I concluded that this case wasn't for meI had missed the 30 days period for return (and Thomann wouldn't be sweet talked into extending it!). Since I bought the isntrument in March a new Thomann keyboard case - Voyager 4 - has become available which the Keys guys recommended to me, so that will be next on my shopping list.
Conclusion- if you are gigging heavily, throwing the insturment in the back of a bus with loads of heavy gear and have a couple of beefy mates/roadies to help, then the Nord case is probably ideal. For the more casual/less intensive traveller, especially if you are out on your own, without others to call on for help in lugging then I would look for an alternative.

Too heavy for a soft case
This case adds another 12 kgs to the already heavy HP type instruments being it the Stage or the Nord Electro 73 HP.
Not really worth the pricing. Better buying a third party gig bag.
