Dust Cover

Post by nordastic »

Hello!

What are your recommendations for a dust cover?

Should I buy the official one or do we know who makes the official one for nord so I can buy the "non-branded" version?

Cheers!

Dust covers aren't that expensive, even for an 'official' one (in the US) less than $40, unless it's the 88 which is still less than $50 If you don't want the official Nord red, likely around $20 or so for a simple dust cover. Good luck!

Coming to this a little late, but ...

For me, using my NS3 HA88 predominantly at home and occasionally in a church, I found that the "official" Nord dust cover effectively perished after less than about 18 months. Specifically, I came to remove it from the keyboard one day (in order to practise) and one finger went straight through the fabric. Not very impressed!

I replaced it with this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07 ... UTF8&psc=1. Much "tighter" fit (so better for keeping out the dust) and is elasticated so can be set to hold very snugly to the keyboard.

I like the Gator brand as a light weight dust cover. Gator Cases Stretchy Keyboard Dust Cover; Fits 61-76 Note Keyboards (GKC-1540)
But the 88 key version is also available.

I read some reviews saying the black dye staining the keyboard controls, I understand that's not the case in your experience.

Also, the quality doesn't seem to be very good according to amazon reviewsImage
