New cases for stage 4

Post by mican »

I have in mind Stage 4 73 HA - the specifications say 1069 mm (42"), 121 mm (4.7"), 349 mm (13.7"). I noticed that the soft case for 73 has only 330 mm in the dimensions, so it doesn't fit. And on the other hand the case for 76 is too big. Did I miss any product that would fit the new stage 4 73? Or does that mean that there will be new cases for this? And when can we expect them? My local seller promises the new keyboard at the start of March, but no info about new bags and the old bags are out of stock (with waiting time ~6 months).

NP5 HA73 already exists, same form factor as NS4 HA73 and I think it fits into the Nord Soft Case HP (dimensions = 1080 x 360 x 125 mm) even if.. it is HA :D

- Nord Piano 5 73: 73: 1070mm (42,1") x 342mm (13.4") x 120mm (4.7")

- Nord Stage 4 73: 1069 mm (42") x 349 mm (13.7") x 121 mm (4.7")

- Nord Electro 6 HP: 1074 mm (42.3") x 344 mm (13.5") x 121 mm (4.8")

You're right, I missed the soft case Electro HP, it's only about 1 cm bigger than the keyboard, it should fit ok. I was looking just at the 76 case, which is too big.

I'm worried about the Compact case though... the Stage 4 compact is 2cm deeper than my Stage 2 compact, and the case is a very snug fit already.

True but NS2 Compact was also longer and NS3 had already teh NS4 form factor (just 1cm less in depth)

Nord Stage 3 SW73: 1066 mm (42"), 104 mm (4,1"), 312 mm (12.7")

Yes I'm keen to know if the NS2c case will fit the NS4c case... it is SUCH a snug fit but I don't want to have to buy a new case :/

I expect you will not have to and Nord has not issued any new softcase for SW73, so...

I just ordered one of these for my incoming Stage 4 Compact. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail ... board-case

Worked great for my Stage 3 Compact. One of the best cases I’ve ever had.

So... people buy a Compact because it is lightweight, then you suggest to add to it a 20lbs case?! :wtf:

I can confirm the the Stage 4 compact fits into the old Stage 2 / 3 case. It's tight, particularly at the front of the sides, but it fits.
