NE3 Accessory Questions

[Bootsy]

Greetings – I’m considering a purchase of an Electro 3 for various reasons. I’ve searched the forum and have a few questions that I can’t see direct answers to so any help will be greatly appreciated.

1) Is there an attachable music stand?
2) I see that there are “legs” for the Nord Stage. Is that available for the NE3? If not, what do people use for a stand rather than an X stand?
3) Is the Nord bag the most recommended?

This questions may seem trivial but it will help me decide what to do at this point. I currently use a Korg SV-1 which I love but the weight is getting to me among a few other issues. Also, I’d be able to pair the two boards for larger gigs but for the quick ones, I can choose which one to travel with me.

Thanks for any help that you can provide.

Hi Bootsy,

There is an attachable music stand and keyboard stand available for the HP:

Not too sure on the std electro 3 model though.
Personally, I just use an X stand because of its compactness- the legs on the nord stand give off a cool retro vibe though!

As for the nord bag, it looks cool and should be fine for storage and light use. However, if you're planning on gigging, you should consider a hard case; I bought a 61 key Gator hard case for my electro 3 HP and it works a treat!

Hope this helps,
Elvee

From memory,
I don't believe that the Nord branded music stand will fit the electro three
I don't believe that the legs that Nord makes will fit the electro three either.
The Nord case is pretty nice as long as you're not using it for a flight case.
The best thing that I have found is a Plano all weather gun case.
Check your dimensions they're reasonably priced.

Consolidating the two above responses:

legs and stand will work on HP version of NE3, but not SW version

gig bags are great for around town work

Thanks for the info. That's what I was thinking but was looking for confirmation. I appreciate the prompt feedback.

I dislike x stands. Can anyone recommend a good stand for the Electro 3 (non-HP).

I like the Quiklok M-91 stand. Cumbersome to transport, but solid as a rock and tons of clear space for pedals and feet. Second tier add-ons available; wish it had mic boom and laptop stand accessories as well, but...

Get a triple Quik Lok and add one, or two accessories. You take OFF the third tier (too high unless you are over 6'4" tall-no one can see you! Add in the mic boom attachment. Of course is you are only using ONE keyboard - a double does the same. I LIKE the stand the best of all I use. Extremely sturdy!

Here is the mic boom (or OTHER uses like a small mixer - one never has to turn around and try to continue playing):
