This is the right place if your topic concerns different Nord Keyboards, you are not sure which one is the right one for you, etc.

Can i ask what is it that draws you to the Rain Piano.

Ive had it on mine a couple of times and although its not unpleasant i find it generally quite weak sounding compared to some of the other samples.

I don't know, the feeling of playing a piano in the room.
The other samples seem very clean to me. I tend to prefer what is under hi-fi and has character. Maybe that's what you call weak sounding :)

This, definitely. Rain is TREMENDOUS. Though I have to say, I really dig the Amber.

Une autre ici (parisien, pas piano rain) :->.

Should we organise a Nord hang-out in Paris ?

The Amber Upright is probably the most beautiful Piano on on the list. It's so warm sounding it's like everytime I play it the music feels so different. Now throw in some Amp effects on it and you're really having some fun.

I agree. LOVE the Amber. Tried the new baby but to me, it didn't hold a candle to the Amber.

Yes, the Amber is my go to
Piano! I wanted to like the Royal, but it’s not as full and as warm as the Amber. If they never came out with another, I’d forever be happy! But we all know they will! Keeps it interesting!
