Hi,

just when surfing the net I decided to save some of the partly not-too-easy-to find links on the Nord Stage which seemed useful to me (and in particular might be so for potential Stage-owners in spe)

Obviously the first place to look at is Nord's Website:
http://www.nordkeyboards.com

Moreover, they now have a very useful FAQ section:

Reviews and other useful links:

ANd last but not least, IMHO the best video review of the nord Stage by Kraft Music

I particularly like the organ sounds he plays from Minute 7:40 onwards.

And if you want to have a look at the factory where the Nords are manufactured, check this video out:

Thanks for the links!
