Enjoying reading the comments and speculations. If the Stage 4 88 has a new triple sensor key bed do you think it will be heavier (weight not feel) overall? I had read that the kawai key bed systems can be a bit heavy

I dont think it will be more than 21kg..

Time soon is coming for the next clavia nord instrument just around 3 months left

The NAMM Show is I think April 2023 so maybe they will announce new models then.

See the comment from M1tsos on p.9! I don't believe in a Stage making the Wave 2 completely obsolete, though.

I agree the attraction of the Stage is they are a Swiss Army Knife do it all keyboard with a interface designed for live performance.

They will announce the new model before namm so that they can let people know that they will have it there for demo

I believe march they will upload a video of it

Thanks for your reply. I'm hoping it'll be a bit lighter than the Stage 3. My back isn't what it used to be .

Yeah that's right the 88 note. I was hoping they might use some funky lightweight material somewhere to shave off a few pounds

Shaving the weight will change the feel of the keybed to a more non-acoustic feel. All the acoustic like keyboards from all brands weight about the same, the top end Kawai weight even more.
