A bit of a stretch for a Korg B2 - 88 Key Digital Piano
The package just arrived today and initially, it seems it's a bit of a stretch to fit the cover around my 88-key digital piano.The material is smooth to the touch and silk-like. More than adequate for dust protection but I wouldn't count on it to resist an accidental water / tea spill.The corners, as shown in the photos are not "well fitted". The corners fall short of the body resulting in a very tight fit. Length-wise, with a strong pull on the drawstring I can just about get the cover to fit around the base of the Piano.The Korg B2 Dimensions are 13.2' x 51.6' .[UPDATE] *Nowhere on the amazon product page are the sizes covered detailed.* [UPDATE]- The packaging states the Keyboard cover will fit sizes of up to 16' x 48'.Quick math: White piano key width = 23.5mm (roughly). Multiple by 52 (number of white keys) = 1170mm = 46 inches.This is not including spaces between keys. or the edge of a keyboard frame.TL,DR: If you have "full sized piano keys" this is probably going to be a stretch. Waiting to see if it loosens over time and will update on quality of material in a month or so.

Pain in the Butt
This is a one size fits all keyboard cover, or should I say, doesn't quite fit. It is quite a nuisance trying to get the cover on as the end you start at slides off before you've got to the other end. I haven't found the magic technique yet so every night is a wrestling match. For my keyboard it is too short, but it can be stretched to fit. There is a tightening cord and toggle which is useless for me because I am already relying on stretching the lycra to cover the keyboard. This may be the source of the problem - if the cover were bigger you might be able to get it on and then tighten it up with the elasticated cord. This is definitely a case of the cover being too short rather than my keyboard being too big - it's a standard 88 keys with just the end pieces either side.

Not great
I have a Yamaha NP32 76 keysI thought it was a sleeping bag type of thing, it's not and it doesn't cover the back of the keyboard. It's awkward to use and the duffle style tighten system would be ok if there was a 2nd fastening at the other end.It's a bit disappointing and I would have sent it back but forgot I had even bought it as it was tucked away in the cupboard of doom I just sorted out ;-)

Making sense of the dimensions
Under "See More Product Details" , the lengths of these are given (with an improbable degree of precision) as 109.22 and 152.4 (cm. presumed)These are mindless calculator conversions of 43" and 60" respectively and are the unstretched states.A glossy card attached to the products states thatGKC-1540 Fits 76-Note Keyboards (15" x 40").GKC-1648 Fits 88-Note Keyboards (16" x 48").Evidently, these smaller lengths are when using the draw-cord with an un-stretched cover; maximum stretch is left for the reviewers to disclose.At 45" (114cm), the 76-key Yamaha PSR-EW310 falls between these camps; the GKC-1540 fitted - at a stretch!

Excellent dust cover for my Kawai ES110.
A really nice dust cover that fits my keyboard very well. My keyboard is 130cm long. The material is Lycra and has plenty of stretch in it. To fit the cover I would suggest tightening the draw string a bit and put one end of the cover over the keyboard and then stretch the cover over the keyboard. The draw string can be tightened further, if neccessary, when the cover is fitted. I'm very pleased with the the result and it will keep my precious instrument free of dust.

Great fit for MODX6
It sits snug on my MODX6 as though designed for it. It is easy to fit and looks much tidier in my studio. There is some stretch, so it might fit a MODX7. I wouldn't guarantee. Very happy with this and a farewell to unnecessary dusting!

Cover for my new Casio CDP-100 88 key digital piano
I must say that I do like the Gator cover. It is VERY stretchy, black and the feel of it is beautifully soft. I also believe it will wear well with care and will probably also launder very well. All in all I am satisfied with the cover.However, on first trying to fit the cover I did have some difficulty. The secret is in pulling the cord tighter BEFORE trying to put it on the keyboard. Otherwise it will just "ping" off - it is that stretchy.With the cord tightened, the cover now stretches over the piano and I make sure that the cover also goes over the X-frame supports on either side of the stand to keep the cover in place. In fact I think it would probably be a better fit if I tightened the cord a bit more. But so far I have not done so.I am not sure if this cover would keep out all the dust if the piano was kept in storage for any length of time as this cover seems quite thin, but since most people use their pianos on a regular basis this should not present a problem.All things considered, this is a good buy and it even stretches sufficiently to also cover the instrument's sheet music holder.It takes some getting used to, but I believe it is a 'keeper'. It does the job.

Fits Roland FP-30
Fits Roland FP-30 fine. Does droop a little bit in the middle, but think you're going to get that unless you're very lucky or buy one specially sized for your particular model of keyboard.The material has kept clean-looking so far with minimal attention, don't expect I'll try washing it for a long time.
