Hi Eumel,

which wooden topper do you mean? The top area to place a NS4 compact upon?

I think I saw a post somewhere here mentioning the NS3 compact being placed on top of the NG 1, so it might work for the NG2 and the NS4C as well but someone who owns at least the NG2 may be willing to measure the top area to be sure

Hey again,

I found it, but I was wrong - it was not in this forum here.

Have a a look, there's a picture from someone who placed the NS3 compact on top of the Nord Grand:

Ah, ok.

Many thanks. Doesn‘t look solid enough to me.

But that is exactly what I wanted to know

Perhaps ... some kind of support/holder/shelf fixed to the NG holes for the music stand ... would help the stability of the NS

If not something attached to the NG2 case to provide additional support, perhaps you could set up another keyboard stand right behind the NG2, that could carry most of the weight of the NS4, with it landing partway between the top of the NG2 and the stand.

I'm having a hard time finding this detail online, can anyone provide the depth measurement of the NG2 top panel? Thanks!
