Can I take a small 25-key keyboard as carry-on?

Yes, if the keyboard in its case does not exceed carry-on dimensions (55 x 40 x 20 cm), you can bring it as hand luggage. Most 25-key controllers fit within these dimensions.

What happens if my keyboard weighs over 32 kg?

Items over 32 kg are not accepted by TAP in the regular baggage system. You must reduce the weight (e.g., change the case) or arrange transport as a special shipment through a logistics provider.
