Electro 3 73 vs Nord Stage 2 73 Keybed

Post by Alexx_best »

Hello dear friends! Just a little question - are the keybeds on Electro 3 73 and Nord Stage 2 73 the same and interchangable or not? I mean general feeling, constructive elements and so on...I would like to buy a Stage 2 SW73 instead of My Electro 3 73, but for me this "Key" moment is quite important...Thanx a lot.

Hello Alex and welcome, this question has been asked many times (a search will show you that): the keybed is Fatar TP8O in both cases (same dimension and mechanism) but NS has the aftertouch strip so the end of key run feels different + a >10 years old used NE3 keyboard will of course probably be softer than a newer one.
