| Can anyone tell me if a SKB R4215W Roto Molded Keyboard Case w/Wheels can be modified to fit a D-10 or 14 String Guitar? |

| I don't have the measurements of either the steel or the SKB , but if it is large enough , then just add some foam rubber ,,, probably hard rubber .. contact cement ....etc You probably know most of the info to complete the job JF |

| In general, most keyboard cases are too shallow and overly long. The inside dimensions of this case are 5" deep x 41" long, so you can probably measure your steel and draw your own conclusion. |

| There is an SKB rolling keyboard case (forget the model#)that is nearly the perfect size for a D-10 body. The pedalboard and leg bag can either be carried in a separate bag or stored in the lid on top of the guitar body. There was a post on this very subject not too long ago. |

| Jimmie...The case that I was refering to is the SKB #3611W. While marketed primarily for drummers as a trap case, with some padding added it is ideal for an SD-10/D-10 steel guitar. |

3611 - that's what I have. I actually have two - one for each Emmons D-10. I believe mine once accommodated Sierra steels so all the required foam packing was already in place.
Mine have a hardboard lid behind which I can fit the legs, pedal-bar and rods. it's very compact and convenient although fairly heavy; I just shipped an empty case up to Doug Earnest for my new Encore steel so I can confirm it weighs 16 lbs without a steel inside.

I have made 3 of them plus put a plywood frame in a 3 or 4 gig bag type rolling keyboard cases.
In the molded plastic ones Jerry F is correct - good foam and glue it in - Sierra used only plastic molded cases.
If you want to get fancy or are afraid of the foam scretching something you can put ultra suade over it - been there done that too.
