NORD STAGE 3 EX or wait for the next one...

[furqat_maestro]

Thanks everyone for the replies.
I am from Uzbekistan (Tashkent).
Guess I'll wait until NAMM.
Let me know if there's news.
I bought my first NS2 when it first came out, I just don't want a new version coming out after my NS3 purchase in a couple of months.

… if you hover the mouse on the flag picture you can see the name in the hover-box)

Max, I only have access to the forum from my iPad, there aren‘t any hover boxes under my thumb at the safari browser.

Ma ti ringrazio per l‘informazione. Carissimi saluti della Germania

oooh!! You are right, in that case I am not sure if touching or holding the finger over the flag works (probably not)

Viele Grüße aus Italien!

I plan to buy NS3 88 in a month.
Thoughts do not leave - maybe it's worth waiting for the release of NS3EX or NS4 I don't know ...?!?!?!

First of all you wont find a stock of stage 3 88 anywhere right now…. And my info from nord is that no one will get stock before july and then namm show is at june so Just wait untill june when namm show.. if they are going to release something new we will see it there..

This might be related to the shortage of semiconductors and some other raw materials, first due to pandemics, now (and then) for the military conflict in Ukraine. Or, who knows, a NS3ex?

Exactly.. i believe next nord release will be stage 3 ex or electro 7.. but i am closer to stage 3 ex.. because piano 5 released at 2021 and it has 1gb for synths and its 1150 euros cheaper from the flagship nord stage 3 with 480mb for synths..

M1tsos, it was back in 2019 when I was asking if there would be a new Stage within the next months. I certainly was not the first one. Meanwhile, a lot of other people have asked, too. Or about a Grand 2, an Electro 7, a Piano 5, etc.

I learned to admire the patience of the 'older' forum members and to be quite glad the forum didn't start every time murmuring about potential eventualities and possibilities. Usually nobody has a real hint.

I fully understand your meaning and i also admire the older members patience.. but you must admit that there are people like me which we are not real proffesional keyboardists or pianist players and we just like the gear and we see it in a way of motivation..

As for my self i am better sound engineer than i am piano player.. i am also proffesional bouzouki player and singer.. so the piano and nord instruments is something new to my life that i wanted it from years ago but i didnt had time to start learning.. buying my nord stage 3 was the first big motivation i was saying to my self that .. wake up and dont be an idiot you have an awesome and best instrument in the world you must learn to play it .. it will be complete idiot if you dont learn play some songs… i managed in 10 months to be able to start gigging alone piano and singing for 2 hours maybe 3 hours non stop. This became more motivation then i wanted to try better keybed and i bought grand which i loved the action and feeling of the keybed but i didnt like much the quality of it..

At the end because i have a sound and lights rental company i care a lot if a new instrument come or not because the market goes up and down depending the new or old model etc… which means i am small reseller dealer in my country for nord keyboards so in case a new one comes for example stage 3 ex my main stage 3 will lose a bit of price.. so i look it from the view of investment also like a small music shop..

I hope you understand my meaning

Thank you for taking the time to explain you thoughts. I understand the motivation to speculate new releases. I did the same thing 3 years age when I was buying a Stage 3. Here is why these threads are irritating to those who spend time on the forum:
1. There are already a massive number of similar posts. At least 2 new threads are created every month. This will only make it harder to find actually useful information from the forum.
2. No one knows. That is always the answer, unless Nord has announced a new release.

And again. No hard feelings. I also started lots unnecessary threads when I was trying to wrap my head around the massive amount of choices, and the fact that it all might change with one new release.

Just to note: I apologise if I seem a little too sarcastic at times. I take perhaps a bit too much joy in crafting flippant remarks.

Of course I understand perfectly the reasoning behind wanting to know — I myself waited until the moment the Stage 3 came out and bought one immediately (though I loved my Stage 2, but I’d promised myself that I’d replace it immediately if they brought out a version with Drawbars).

Unfortunately, nobody outside the forty people who work at Nord and a handful of beta testers and preset programmers know anything about unreleased products. And the subject literally does come up pretty much every single week — though the forum search engine is rather good.
