Nord User Forum

Hi All,

I'm looking to purchase my first Nord keyboard (used) and would like to know how you determine the production date from the serial number. The two models I'm looking at are the 6D 73 and the Stage 3 73 Compact. If anyone can help e with thisit woul be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Kindly.

What importance does the production date have for you? I'm not aware of any public listing.

If you are talking about a Stage 3 Compact, the UI layout may be more important - there are Revisions A and B (from April 2019 on) with slightly different knobs. There should be info on the forum. And the newest Revision C (?) doesn't have the cooling slots around the power unit anymore.

Instead of serial number you may look for the panel layout number. My NS3 with "Rev.B 2.1" on the right side is from end of 2019.

This might be of some use for you: nord-stage-forum-f3/nord-stage3-revb-v5-2-version-and-model-info-t20987.html

Most guitar makers the year of production is part of the serial number and sometimes even factory indicator. Each guitar model has basic spec's based on model year. Keyboards from what I've seen have production years and revisions that the usually the model number reflects.
