You can try a uhaul or storage facility, they usually sell big ones.

guitar centers usually break out floor models during the week and have leftover boxes at the end of the night.

try calling around guitar centers on sunday or monday nights.

Or just go dumpster diving! Tree are always huge boxes and foam In their dumpsters!

I tried looking for boxes by dumpster diving & was sad to find that ALL the places I went had compactors.

It can probably fit in a guitar box as well. or a cut down guitar box. alot of the music stores should have a couple of these laying around or in the dumpster.

Just throw a shipping tag on the keyboard and get insurance. problem solved.

I have an original AX-60 box with the box inserts and everything. Problem is it is in Portland. Thats a clean looking AX-60 though.

Just go to a UPS and they will box it up for you, they make custom boxes and package everything safely for a low fee, plus you can ship it from there and get insurance just in case somethind does happen

FedEx may offer the same but im not certain...

I tried shipping that exact same keyboard right there once before. The quote I got for them to box and ship was well over 100 bucks. Not worth it to use them to rig up a box when you can rig one up yourself.

understandable
but if you let them make it then it takes the liability off of you and places it on them, expecially when you add insurance to the equation

just wanting to make sure the gear is protected AND covered in case of any accident
