Best Keyboard Case By Size
Whether you're a touring musician or a studio player who gigs on weekends, your keyboard case needs to do one job well: keep your instrument safe.
Keyboards are awkward to transport, sensitive to impact, and expensive to replace. A quality hard case solves all three problems, giving you waterproof, crushproof protection that soft gig bags simply can't match.
Below, we break down the best keyboard case options by size to help you find the right fit for your setup. Before choosing a case, measure your keyboard's full length, height, and depth. Raised pitch wheels, rotary knobs, or protruding controls can add inches that standard specs don't account for.
Best Case For Standard Keyboards (up to 44")
The Pelican 1720 is a proven choice for standard-size keyboards.
With interior dimensions of 41.80" x 13.58" x 5.33", there is room for most 61-key controllers and synthesizers, plus cables or a sustain pedal. The polypropylene body features four double-throw latches, an automatic pressure equalization valve, and a watertight O-ring seal rated to IP67.
Polyurethane wheels with stainless steel bearings make it easy to roll through airports and venues, and the Pelican Lifetime Guarantee of Excellence backs it for life.
Pelican 1720Best Case For Large Keyboards (up to 50")
For 76-key keyboards that stretch closer to 50 inches, the Pelican IM3300 Storm delivers the extra length you need.
Interior dimensions come in at 50.50" x 14.00" x 6.00", giving large-format boards room to sit securely in custom-cut foam. The Storm series is built from HPX resin, which keeps weight manageable at 23 lbs with foam despite the larger footprint.
Six press-and-pull latches lock and open with a light touch, and the Vortex valve handles pressure changes during air travel. In-line wheels and double-layered soft-grip handles make loading and unloading smoother on show days.
Like many Pelican cases, the IM3300 also features Pelican’s Guarantee of Excellence.
Pelican IM3300 Storm
Best Case For Compact Keyboards (up to 36")
Compact MIDI controllers, 49-key synths, and smaller stage keyboards fit well inside the Nanuk 985.
Its interior measures 36.6" x 14.5" x 6.0", which provides solid protection without the bulk of a full-size long case. The 985 is built from lightweight NK-7 resin and weighs roughly 15.8 lbs empty, making it noticeably lighter to carry.
Four PowerClaw latches keep the case sealed tight, and two of those latches feature integrated TSA-accepted locks for added security during flights. Polyurethane wheels, spring-loaded handles, and an IP67 waterproof rating round out a compact case that punches well above its size.
