I wrote the same conclusion in other topic - no other way, you have to wait. :roll:

Hey all! First Nord and it feels grand. No pun intended lol. White grand is on point! Coming from a Korg Grandstage, I have to say that the EPs on the Nord are so much more lush than the Korg IMO.
Especially the pan/trem/chorus effect.
Excuse me while I geek out with the Nord world haha
Cheers

I’m fortunate to live only five miles away from a piano store that stocks Bösendorfer, Fazioli, Yamaha, Kawai (and its Shigeru variant)... and Nord and Dexibel.

I recently auditioned a Dexi Vivo S9 (their current flagship) alongside an NP4 and S388. I suppose it depends on what you’re looking for in piano tone. The S9 weighted action is very nice (given that weight also becomes a portability factor)... but I really didn’t find the Dexi pianos to be “second-to-none”.

Personally, as good as the Dexibel is, I prefer the Nord Grand action. Compared the Dexibel and Kawai MP11SE before I bought the Grand. What I really like is the responsiveness of the keybed. However, take my info with a grain of salt. I actually really like the Fatar TP40L I have in my Kurzweil Forte. Not nearly as good as the Nord Grand, however.

That looks great, Frank!

Are you getting any lateral movement from the stand on the carpet? That stand does get good reviews.

What's your take on the sound and action? Any issues or dislikes with the Kawai action? I am happy that they supplied the rubber footrest with the pedal, to keep it from moving around as much.

Give us a review and your thoughts!
