My MOXF8 gig bag arrived yesterday!

Well,

Does it fit?  Is it tight like the old MOX8 bag? 
Is it loose or what is your opinion?

Take a picture with the board in the bag with the zipper open and one with it closed and let us see.

Thanks,

Bill

The case is VERY tight.  I had to stretch it a bit on the ends to get the board in there. 

I’ll take a pic and post it soon.

Which apparently verifies what I posted earlier in this thread - it’s not a matter of MOX8 versus MOXF8, those bags are just a tight fit.

Pictures would indeed be interesting.

btw, the moxf88 will also fit in the oversize Gator 76 note roadcase :-) just needs a small trim of about 1 cm from the end foam (internally).

have you tried the non-deep version or this 76 key gator case here?

I’m using the Gator GKPE-76-TSA.  This is not the deep version. 

I removed the rubber feet from the moxf,
trimmed about a half inch of foam from one end of the case,
and removed a small amount of foam from the top, where the knobs and p/m wheels sit.

I’m not sure how much the foam was contacting the knobs, but didn’t want to take a chance of putting any pressure on the circuit board that they are attached to.

It now fits like a custom made case for the moxf.

Thank you for the info.

Does anyone know if a Yamaha Motif XF7 will fit in the MOXF8 bag?
What I like about the MOXF8 bag is the weight....only 6 lb and has wheels.
Hard to find something like that for the XF7.
I’m sick of lugging my XF7 around in a 26lb SKB hard case.

From their respective Owner’s Manuals…

MOXF8
Dimensions: 1320(W) x 405(D) x 168(H) mm
Weight: 14.9 kg

Motif XF7
Dimensions: 1252(W) x 391(D) x 122(H) mm
Weight: 17.2 kg

So the XF7 is smaller than the MOXF8, and would probably need a little additional padding. The XF7 weighs somewhat more, which might be a consideration.
