Custom Hardcase for P5

Post by bhrama » Mon Jun 27, 2011 6:57 pm

So I scored a Prophet 5, and I want to get the best hard case available. All the eBay vendors kinda sell this ATA generic 61 keyoboard case, which is good (bought one for my Juno 60), but I'm looking more towards a custom fit, i.e. Moog Music's hardcase for the Voyager or DSI's one for their synths. Any suggestion?

You can have a high-quality ATA case specially made for several hundred dollars. There are occasionally some used ATA cases on eBay as well as inexpensive new cases of somewhat lower quality.

I saw that used one, but I'm not too sure about "re-foaming" the interior? I've had no experience with that, but if you know a place to get good foram from I'd be all ears.
