Old nord keyboards durability/lifespan

About NL3s potential issues, you may want take a look at this thread (just to know about it) viewtopic.php?t=7865

Hi max, thank you for bringing that up. I am aware about these problems, the seller has sworn to me that the unit has never had any power supply issue and I personally tried it at his house. I also tried it at my house leaving it on for hours and it seems like nothing was wrong. Hope it won't fail on me in the next years, after buying it I will consider bringing it to italy's nord supplier for a check-up.

Given that the Electro 6 is now over 7 years old..and the new Stage, Grand and Piano are priced out of just about everyone's comfort level...the Nord user base is fast becoming a vintage keyboard community.

People happily talking about their 15-25 year old keyboards - they have no choice, Nord has nothing to sell them now, as they aren't captains of the recording industry or university department chairs.

Meanwhile, the Electro 6 is closing in on the title "classic," given its age. There will likely be a new model later this year or early next year, but the waterfall version is sure to be priced over $3500, and the Hammer action well over $4000. This will prompt even more Nord users to "hang on" to their existing boards, for like ever.

They are built like tanks! Yeah, they need to be.

Current USA prices (not including sales tax - so add in at least 6%):

Stage 4 88 - $5999
Grand 2 88 - $4999
Organ 3 - $4399
Piano 6 88 - $4199

They are getting to be like cars. We keep them longer because of tariffs. My Subaru went way up mew. so I'm keeping it a few more years. No worries Nord and Subaru's last a LOMG time
