Here in the UK the price advertised is £3,499 which is astronomical I think. Wouldn't mind if it had a decent key bed, but Fatar do not fill me with confidence at all.
Won't be getting one at this price - Kronos LS is cheaper and pretty equal in performance by the looks of it!

Maybe after you try the keybed of Kronos LS (no aftertouch btw) you will have a different opinion... and if you think a Kronos is equal in performance, for what you need at leastm so why bothering about the NS3 price (or is that actually your only problem you have with it)?

Sweetwater advertises them at 3499$ / 3799$ / 3999$. Seems actually quite reasonable, well, at least compared to the 2EX prices.

No idea about the UK, but certainly the exchange rate is a bit different now. Let's hope they don't gio the Toblerone route leaving some keys out...

I was looking at Sweetwater and the Stage 3 price(88=$3999) is less than the Stage 2 (88ex=$4499). Yesterday, their site was showing a price reduction on the Stage 2 line. I may be wrong but I think they accidentally swapped the prices. I hope the Stage3 is only 3999 but I think it's really gonna be $4499...ouch. Don't know how I will be able to explain that charge on my credit card. If I start saving now and skip on vacations, I should be able to get one in 2019. At this price, I think I'm gonna give up keys and take up the harmonica or bird-watching.

Don't get me wrong, I'm the biggest, most obnoxious Nord fan-boy in the world. I will get a stage3...one day. They look awesome and I'm sure they are worth the price. Until then, long live my Stage2.

I pre-ordered this from Sweetwater and confirmed the $3999 price. Other sites ( Kraft music ) also have the NS3 88 listed at $3999.

I already started selling my Nord Stage 2... I hope I can at least gather half of the cost! But as far as I have seen, most sites have the same prices now.

I need my Stage 2 for gigs. I will not sell it until I have the Stage 3 programmed and ready to go! Just pre ordered mine from Sweetwater as well. The 73 is perfect for me.

$4500 smackers, pallies. We're pretty much at university-level pricing now. As in, maybe your school's music program will buy one. Maybe.

$4500 buys a lot of gear. Granted, the Stage 3 looks to be pretty incredible. I'm not sure how much incredible one needs to bash out All Down the Line, or channel Greg Hawkes, or sound like a church organ...but with this product and this price, Nord may be able to lay claim to offering the flagship keyboard of the electronic world.
