I you want a good keybed that will last you have to buy a Yamaha, this is what expereienced service men tell me all the time, and that is why they are preferred in places where the equipment must work properly every day ( Musicals etc..)
But I must admit I had a defect key in my new P 200 in the late Nineties..
Korg, Kawai, Nord... never again..

I had fallen keys on my Roland FP-1. keybed wad completely nenewed/exchanged, warranty has exceeded. reason wad low quality plastics around key-weights. should be up to nord to make customers satisfied.

After Kawai, Korg and Nord now I am very happy with my Casio PX5S, the keys were kind of noisy from the first day on, but 800 Euro make it tolerable.
The White Grand is the first piano sample from Nord that is IMO as nice as the Casio Steinway "sample" (my edited version). And I was tempted to buy the Piano 4 or even the Grand but if you pay 2500 or 3000 Euro for a product and the keys get louder or clicking...that really hurts.

Yep... also had to replace 12-15 keys on my Yamaha P150 years ago, since they wear out...

Goronzo wrote:Hi about a week ago i bought Nord Piano 4 and some weird noise appeared when pressing key F. Key is responding ok, it only makes this irritating noise. Before Nord Piano 4 I had Nord Piano 3 which I had to return because of keybed problems. Is it the same with Nord Piano 4? Should I return it or are these noises normal? Thanks

Link to video:

I had a similar issue with four of my F keys. The problem was metal parts rubbing against each other: The metal part of the keys rubbed against the nearby metal stabilisators.
Bending these metal parts away from the keys fixed the problem.

My Nord piano 4 has no cliking sounds, but when i was playing tonight, a key broke The piano is only 1 month old.
Just sent pictures to our Nord dealer waiting for his reply..

I hope this is a one time experience. I love the sound of this amazing instrument.

HI ragnarj,

Hope you will get your unit replaced or repaired soon.
You are not the first (so far) to have this issue.
Luckily all the owners are not concerned but Fatar doesn't seem to have fixed the problem.

I just bought mine 2 days ago and should receive it next week.
