Wow, those are hefty prices.

Yeah, there's something odd there.
I was searching around the net and people are selling them for a lot less than the official price in the pdf.

In America the 61 key case is going for as little as 200 USD in some stores.

Hi everybody,

I´ve ordered a similar case at a german shop for only 109 €:

Seems that I only have to applicate a Korg-Logo on it...

Those street prices sound a lot more realistic and competitive.

It should be cheaper then the competition because they're allowed to put this huge logo on it!

I paid 250 eur for a custom flightcase which even looks more solid than a plastic case...

I ordered this one:

Costed 129 euro and fits exactly with the Korg (you can pass your workstation model and they make it fit).

Especially the leather handle makes a use more convenient way to lift it.

Btw, they also have 76/88 and wood versions.

I'm never getting a case without wheels again, myself.

Korg UK have been listing those type cases on ebay for a while,(still a little steep in price for what they are though)

Your essentially paying for the Korg logo,I would rather get a semi flight bespoke one than these plastic moulded ones,plus there must be the same spec ones without the branding logo far cheaper

I've always bought my case's from Flightcase warehouse.

Some £70 cheaper here for IMO a better protecting case for the Kronos 61 never been a fan of those plastic/ABS ones,certainly wouldn't pay £224 for that just for a Korg logo
