I didn't think it's Friday after all:

No, most of us are not expecting a new stage 3 ex - at least not as far as I think. There were different opinions expressed on the forum recently. Like others, I don't believe and even don't hope there will be a Stage 3ex - other improvements are pending, mostly those introduced with the Piano 5. An Electro 7 is something else - but indeed, it's not so sure that Nord has the technical opportunity to introduce a new model at all with all those supply chain problems.

When will I get my new in-ears? As soon as the cable and some simple smaller parts are available for the manufacturing process (even if they seem to be on their way from China after 4 weeks of lockdown as I understood).

Thanks for all your answers and your input so far! Really helpful!

BUT: the most helpful was a good friend who is a pro pianist (Jazz, Blues & Boogie Woogie) - who owns a Grand and has compared it to for example Roland FP 90X and he says that the Nord Grand's Keyboard is more like a toy (in comparison!)
That sadly confirms what I've researched so far...

I'm not totally at ease with the Grand's keybed (when I tested it at multiple occasions). And I don't think I'm going to buy one soon. But I think you shouldn't rely your decision on the opinion of a person who censes things that way.

Test the instruments you might want to get with the music you want to use it for - and see what your fingers and your heart may have to say. As far as I'm concerned, I don't consider a Roland FP 90X a toy, but I never got connected while testing it anyway.

I don't think that sentence of your friend's confirms anything. If he didn't add other statements explaining some more. I tend to say: Go play what you get under your fingers in the reaved show rooms of the music industry - and make your own mind.

Could you kindly elaborate what sort of problem does this entail?
Something like ticking noise of release?

Thanks!
