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

Most of us expecting a new stage 3 ex or electro 7 to be the next instrument from nord..

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.

Yes, you are absolutely right!
At the time being I am a but nervous because I need to decide within a few days
But I will try to keep all said in mind

Thanks a lot people!

some Nord Grand tend to have a problem with the mechanics. I've read somewhere that sometimes (but very rarely) there is too much oil or some kind of lubricate substances inside the Nord Grand (where the keys touch the sensors).

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

Thanks!
