Yes, I have an ATA-style case with wheels that I got from BT Productions, and it can be moved solo, if you had your Wheaties. There are a couple of caveats:

1. It's pretty big, and it may be helpful to get a second person when maneuvering corners in a living room, etc. When on its wheels, the case is about 35" wide or so -- wider than most doorways can tolerate -- and it's been known to turn on about six rolls of dimes.

2. If you want to keep your BX-3 looking great, get a second person to help you move it in and out of the case. The only ding on my otherwise pristine BX-3 is from the time I decided to load the organ into the case without waiting for my son to come home. Bad move ...

Regards,

-BW
