Re: Side inserts made of wood?
They are wooden, if you unscrew one you can see from the internal part also (or you can find a NE6 repair video on YT or... you will see at the first scratch or bump you will sooner or later make
)

You will probably not want to wait for the first big scratch until you win that argument. You would.

Re: Side inserts made of wood?
I have an NE6D, as I already mentioned. I gently tap it with various objects and it really feels like plastic! It sounds like plastic, it bounces like plastic, it feels like plastic, it smells like plastic. And most likely, it is plastic! While it's under warranty, I can't open it. But does Nord make the side panels out of plastic? I was sure they were made of wood! I don't believe it!))))

NE6D side panels are wooden. Then you can "believe" what you want...EdwardGlekov wrote: ↑20 Nov 2025, 23:23 I have an NE6D, as I already mentioned.

You could try a scratch, or drill a hole to check itEdwardGlekov wrote: ↑20 Nov 2025, 23:23 I have an NE6D, as I already mentioned.
