Thanks for your answers.Well i will live with it too , i just wanted to know if it's only me who has ''uneven'' drawbars etc and i have to contact dealer and get a new one.I didn't blame any people , i am just annoyed that i pay so much money and i don't get a ''perfect'' keyboard.As i said i am a big fan of Nord sounds that's why i keep buying products , but i can't understand how people don't complain about the things that i mentioned before.

Ok, you got me curious so I checked. Yes, the last drawbar sticks out just a little bit, never bothered me - never even noticed. Frankly, I don't think there's a quality issue here.

Actually, around 4 of the drawbars on my 5D I bought brand new a few months ago were bent sideways a little when they arrived despite all the factory packing. Hard to see how it could have happened in transit, since the box was not damaged. i just bent them back by applying pressure on the side. Not a big deal, but i wouldn't discount the OP's story.

Thanks for posting the video, Mr G. Now i know how my drawbars got bent. Lars, my assembler, leaned onto the knobs with that stick to push them in, and he weighs 125 kilos. :lol:

Funny, between key master and AdamStage, I was afraid for one minute that they would be starting a new "Guerre de 100 ans"...100 years war....Between France and England....But no, finally, they solved the issue, great, no more "Brexit" then....
Just joking....
To come back to the topic, I don't have any Nord with physical drawbars but I have two Ocean Beach drawbars and some could be just a bit twisted but that never bothered me....As long as they work well...

The single main reason I upgraded from the Stage 2 compact to the Stage 3 compact is the addition of physical drawbars. I swore when I bought the old one in 2014 that I'd buy a new Stage the second they added drawbars.

I'm more than happy with all the other advancements — the board is pretty near perfect for my needs and preferences now — but the drawbars were the justification.
