Thomann Keyboard Bag 49-2

I bought the Novation Launchkey 49 MK4 WH for my Ableton Music Production course, so I bought this case to protect it. The case is well made and sturdy, with handles for carrying as well as a removable shoulder strap.
Like some of the other reviewers, I felt that it could benefit from some extra padding for added protection. Luckily, as the Launchkey arrived in the same order, I was able to save the two fitted foam cubes that protected each end of the keyboard. With these foam inserts still in place, the Launchkey fits snugly in the bag and I feel much more confident that it is properly protected.

Got this as part of the keyboard bundle with the M-Audio Code 49, fits perfectly. The bag is well-made and feels like it can take a bit of a beating, though I wouldn't recommend it for heavy duty travelling. There is some padding there that can cushion against a light impact, but not anything more.

I like the long spacious compartment in front which can fit a thin folder and some light accessories. There is also an additional compartment along the entire back of the bag, and I'm thinking of putting some padding in there for extra protection when I set the keyboard down.

My only gripe is that the strap goes across diagonally from the front to the back of the bag. This makes it somewhat difficult to put the keyboard in as well as take it out, hence I would unhook one side of the strap first whenever I'm getting the keyboard into and out of the bag.

I would have to say that this keyboard case is only okay. It fulfils the minimum requirements for its use and for that reason I think it would be unfair to give it under three stars. I found that bag's structural integrity isn't strong enough. You could argue that means it can be easily folded up but for the purpose of use it is a bit of hindrance. To be honest it doesn't perfectly fit 49 key keyboard (M-Audio Oxygen 49 Mk4) however, since the product is not made by M-Audio, specifically for that product, the case cannot be held accountable. However, I believe that some form of partition inside the case would greatly aid the problem of my keyboard moving around too much. The extra compartment is quite handy for the USB cable among any other items you made need to store while on the go. In summary, the case fulfils it's basic requirements but it's nothing to rave about. Perhaps just about worth the price.

I purchased this to transport my audio technica midi keyboard, not worried too much about quality.

I found that it was of very good build compared to some other (very expensive) keyboard bags I have purchased. While I did buy for its original use, I have experimented with using it as a carrier bag for cables and other gear. My personal favourite fit for this bag was actually guitar pedals, It is of the perfect size for most pedal boards and has lots of room for extra accessories sch as cables and power supplies. My keyboard fits nice a snugg, fairly safe from any height drop, even room for my laptop in the front pocket.
Not seen in the picture but carrier handle is extremely secure.
