Hi all,
See topic. I know the stage has some more keys but is the keybed (key size, touch etc the exact same oherwise).
I want to buy a Stage 3 Compact but can only physically test an NW2 in the store hence I am asking if these are equal feeling wise.

Re: Do NW2 and Stage 3 Compact share the same keybeds
They both have waterfall keys, both have an aftertouch strip below, both are expected to feature a Fatar TP/8O. But that doesn't mean they need to feel the same: There might be softer/harder springs being used.
I'd say that the Stage 3 Compact has a rather fast, slightly stiff keybed. But have never played a Wave 2 for comparison.

Re: Do NW2 and Stage 3 Compact share the same keybeds
I have both instruments. The Wave 2 keybed is the same model, but has a few millimeters less (2.8 to be exact) key travel and more depth into the aftertouch strip.

The NW2 has a "harder/stiff" keyboard.
Better than NE6 for me.
