How cumbersome is it to carry this piano around in a gig bag?

I am small and it would be very cumbersome for me! It weighs 41 lbs. and you probably saw the dimensions 52-1/2" x 5-1/2" x 13-13/16". My husband and I agree "cumbersome" is a very good word for what it would be to carry! We're used to hauling amps and guitars back and forth but not so much with keyboards.

On mine, everything is solidly built, tightly attached. I can tell you, though, that this case is VERY heavy (at least to me). If you put a LP-type guitar in it, you'll want to minimize how much you actually have to carry it around.

The action is lighter than a real piano, but you soon get used to the feel. It obviously does not have the texture and depth of sound of a real piano, but is fine for a practice instrument - I would not want to use it for gigs.

I took it outside the country on a plane in its original box with factory packing. Was just fine. If you need a hard case for gigs and stuff, then just get any.

That depends on the airline. I did a gig in Vegas last year and they let me put it in the coat closet, when I played in Austin at SXSW, they made me check it. But I checked it at the gate with all the baby strollers. So it doesn't have to go through the airport luggage system. It's a great case and the reason I got it was because I knew that if I had to check the guitar, it would be safe.

It's huge and the keyboard has some weight to it, but it does have a shoulder strap. It is like a large artist's portfolio. You will be able to walk with it, but it will be a little awkward.

Well, overhead it would be fine...it's a rigid/strong guitar, but the bag isn't that thick. I think it would be ok getting jostled and tossed but throw a big hard suitcase on it and I think it's goodbye little Martin! Like that other person said, bubble wrap it and it may be good to go.

My dulcimer is around 30 lbs and I carry that okay, along with a folding chair and music stand. I imagine I carry around 45 lbs or so.

Well, I wouldn't try to move a piano with it. For something small & heavy, or medium sized/bulky (like a loom) and medium weight, or large and light (like a panel) it would work, but mix up those conditions and it's not suitable. Hope this helps.

Yes. It comes with a nice gig bag, the guitar fits perfectly in a very small package, you can take it anywhere you go.

Reasonably heavy, but it has a handle on one side and small wheels on the other, so you can drag it like a suitcase. If you're only going from the van to the building you should be good! The design is nice how it goes together, it protects the speaker and the controls when in transport.

Yes, that's exactly my piano. It does a good job protecting from dust, but not impact. And I'm hoping I never test how water-resistant it is!

Not that I know of. I use a case with a shoulder strap to transport the 2 pieces. I find that the keyboard doesn't stay on after opening and closing a few times, so I carry the 2 pieces unattached.

The carry bag is quite study. If you're only carrying the equipment made for it, then you won't have any problems. It's actually made quite well.

I can fit my 76 key Yamaha in it very well, but I wouldn't want to cram my stand in with it. It has a pouch in the front to carry plug in and other stuff.

Not much. The only real "padding" is the fairly thick velcro-fastened strips that hold the keyboard in place in the bag. This bag is essentially the equivalent of a "soft" guitar case. There is plenty of room, though (at least for my Korg), to add your own padding on both sides of the keyboard.

Absolutely. Have taken on many flights and it just barely fits within airline regulations, albeit only in the softcase that comes with it. If they give you a hard time, just insist that they measure it or just insist period. It is a musical instrument that shouldn't be stored in the belly of the plane (though it is sturdy enough I think it would survive just fine as long as it doesn't get crushed by shifting luggage) and it fits easily in the overhead compartments anyway. Like I said, I never had any problem and I've taken it even on international flights. No biggie.
