Gig Bag for the Pearl EM1 MalletSTATION

I've been lugging the MalletSTATION to rehearsals and performances in its original cardboard box. I was pretty certain after a couple more trips the whole thing would fall apart catastrophically!

I ended up buying the 88-key AKOZLIN brand off Amazon, which fits the EM1 with the protective foam that came with the original box (you all kept the box, right? haha) We're planning to custom cut a couple panels of coroplast to add rigidity, but this is a snug-fitting, solid gig bag for the EM1.

We've since cut a sheet of coroplast and inserted it into the front/back (or top/bottom, depending on how you look at it) of the gig bag. It is now much more rigid and able to withstand light bumps.

YMMV. Definitely don't drop or stand on the bag.
