Roland has announced the CB-V61 and CB-B88S, two new keyboard bags designed to make transporting your gear easier while still providing protection. These are purpose-built for Roland’s own lineup of portable 61- and 88-key keyboards, with smart features that cater directly to working musicians and casual players who need reliability on the move.

Both bags are available now in the U.S., priced at $109.99 for the CB-V61 and $175.99 for the CB-B88S. They round out Roland’s expanding line of accessories and are built to match the size, shape, and use-case of their current keyboard models like the GO:KEYS 3, JUNO-D6, FP-30X, and RD-88 EX.

CB-V61

The CB-V61 is aimed at users of Roland’s 61-key models—specifically instruments like the GO:KEYS 3, GO:KEYS 5, and JUNO-D6. It uses a polyester outer shell and soft-lined interior to keep the keyboard protected during travel, but what stands out most is the modular interior system. It comes with three removable cushions and an adjustable internal strap, so you can customize the fit depending on which 61-key model you’re carrying.

For travel ease, the bag includes padded backpack straps and a cushioned handle. There’s also a large external pocket for storing power cables, adapters, and accessories, including enough space for the optional GO:KEYS music rest. It even ships with three keychains repping the Roland, GO:KEYS, and JUNO logos—a small but appreciated bonus for loyal users.

CB-B88S

For musicians using slim 88-note instruments like the RD-88 EX or FP-30X, the CB-B88S is a more tailored solution. It features a fleece-lined interior and two hook-and-loop straps that keep the keyboard locked in during transport. The exterior uses the same rugged polyester fabric found on the CB-V61, offering reliable protection against everyday scuffs and light travel wear.

There’s a detachable shoulder strap included, and two different pockets: one larger compartment for things like pedals, cables, and power supplies, and a slimmer pocket meant for music sheets, small gear, or a phone. This kind of compartment separation is ideal for musicians who gig frequently or teach in multiple locations and want to keep setup streamlined.

Built for Practical Use, Not Just Storage

What sets these bags apart is that they’re built for how musicians actually use their gear—moving between rehearsals, lessons, studios, and small gigs. The interiors are designed to secure the keyboard during transit rather than just provide a loose shell. The soft linings and cushioned carrying points reduce fatigue and help protect the instrument across different modes of transport.

They also feel intentionally matched to Roland’s own product range. While you could probably fit other keyboard brands inside, the fit and finish make the most sense when paired with Roland’s current portable lineup. That’s good news for owners of GO:KEYS, FP-series pianos, and newer JUNO units who’ve been looking for a no-guesswork way to travel with their boards.

Pricing and Availability On These Keyboard Bags

The CB-V61 and CB-B88S are available now through Roland and authorized U.S. dealers for $109.99 and $175.99 respectively. For a more detailed look at specifications, compatibility, or hi-res product images, visit roland.com.

If you’re already using one of Roland’s current portable keyboards and need a smarter way to carry it around, these bags offer an option that’s purpose-built, affordable, and ready to handle everyday transport.
