I am looking for a case for my Oasys 76 and wondered what fellow 76'ers were using ...

Thanks !

Hi Daz,

I ordered this case from Thomann, it is a little bit lighter than wood and I´m ok with this

Daz is on the other side of the pond.
I would have recommended the thoman cases myself only I don't think he could order one from them.

Regards.
Sharp.

Sweetwater used to sell both 88 and 76 key cases for the OASYS, made by LM Engineering.

Sweetwater only lists the 88 now, but you could most likely buy one through Sweetwater or directly from LM Engineering:

First thing I did when I got my Oasys 88 was to order a decent flightcase. I had mine built by a flightcase company in Norway but it looks exactly like the one below from Sweetwater with all the details.

Maybe they have one (in the states) for the 76 version as well.

Got mine from Sweetwater, too. Kind of pricey, but so is the keyboard. Heavy, also - make sure you have wheels!

Keen to see/read more options ...

This is Also a Good Choice,
Gator GK-276-DEEP
76-key Hardshell Keyboard Case with Extra Depth and Wheels

It Fits the Oasys Perfectly.

Ofcourse I had to Ad some Puzzle Foam on the Top so the Oasys Don't Move; Fits Perfect.

There is one Thing I like on this case: It's High is 8 inside and 11 outside, so the Oasys display is not that near the case enclosure ,like the others.

Gator GK-276-DEEP 76-key Keyboard Case Features:

Fits 76 note keyboards

Rugged hard-shell polyethylene construction

Adjustable padded straps to secure keyboard during transport

Recessed chrome-plated twist latches

ATA-style case

Heavy-duty valance

Built-in rollerblade-style wheels

Top tow handle & side carry handles

Tricot-covered foam-padded interior

Interior Dimensions: 51.25" x 20" x 8"

Give it a Look.

I got mine from Calzone, I think Korg had bought some Oasys cases from them as well. Relative to the Sweetwater case, I think it's cheaper, & you can customize it (material, type of lock, wheels/no wheels etc). It looks pretty much like the Sweetwater case.

I got mine with recessed wheels on one end, so that I can pull it from the other end & roll it, & I also had it made from some material that's 20% lighter than wood (even then, it's a %*(#* to transport!).

I've got a Gator as well. It fit my roland A90-ex 88key originally, but works with the Oasys 76 as well. I just fit some foam spacers to take up the slack and I'm good to go.

Hi Daz,

I had mine custom built by a mate who has a custom case building business (plug: http://timonkleinindustries.com/ ) and I'm very happy with it.

Due to the weight you'll want to have good quality wheels and handles (mine does) because they are going to cop higher than normal stress. One person generally will not carry the OASYS inside this case - so it'll get wheeled a lot. Also the case materials can't be the cheap stuff because the big O will snap or contort it. Mine has been rock solid.

If the case has a storage compartment at one end (for cables, pedals, duct tape, etc.) remember the OASYS is slightly heavier at one end too, so get two handles on the front side so its more easily balanced during those times when you can't wheel it.

Unless you're hiring roadies - and perhaps even if you do - you'll want wheels on the case. Its just too heavy for one person to carry. Make sure there's sufficient padding (I got a few extra layers in and I'm glad I did) because the weight once again stresses that out in transit (my first layer is half-compressed when wheeling).

Also remember the hard drive is on the left end so try to have as little vibration at that end as possible when wheeling it around.

If I could have one improvement over the case I have, it'll be welding some curled bars from a bicycle on the opposite-to-wheels end because the standard spring-loaded handle is uncomfortable due to the weight.

Hope this helps!
