Actually, around 4 of the drawbars on my 5D I bought brand new a few months ago were bent sideways a little when they arrived despite all the factory packing. Hard to see how it could have happened in transit, since the box was not damaged. i just bent them back by applying pressure on the side. Not a big deal, but i wouldn't discount the OP's story.

Thanks for posting the video, Mr G. Now i know how my drawbars got bent. Lars, my assembler, leaned onto the knobs with that stick to push them in, and he weighs 125 kilos. :lol:

Funny, between key master and AdamStage, I was afraid for one minute that they would be starting a new "Guerre de 100 ans"...100 years war....Between France and England....But no, finally, they solved the issue, great, no more "Brexit" then....
Just joking....
To come back to the topic, I don't have any Nord with physical drawbars but I have two Ocean Beach drawbars and some could be just a bit twisted but that never bothered me....As long as they work well...

The single main reason I upgraded from the Stage 2 compact to the Stage 3 compact is the addition of physical drawbars. I swore when I bought the old one in 2014 that I'd buy a new Stage the second they added drawbars.

I'm more than happy with all the other advancements — the board is pretty near perfect for my needs and preferences now — but the drawbars were the justification.

Sounds like a perfect justification to me -- whatever it takes to upgrade is a perfect justification ;) :)

Very late to the conversation, but I had a minor issue with a new NE6 73HP. One key sounded like there was a gap between the plastic on the key surface and the underlying wooden key. This resulted in a "clack" sound when playing the keyboard at home. You would not notice it playing live, but for home use it was most irritating. A major reason for the move from the Yamaha MOXF8 was the feel, and sound, of the keybed. It played like a toy. I am thrilled with the Nord and the Fatar keybed. I probably would not have taken issue with this if it was a used keyboard, but since this NE was within the 45 day return period from Guitar Center, it has been replaced and I am waiting for the new keyboard to arrive. Anybody familiar with this minor issue? Thanks...tony
