Nord pianos vs Nord Uprights

Post by benny ray »

Just curious what most people on the forum use the Grand pianos or the Grand Upright?
The Grand Upright is very impressive but the Silver Grand is wonderful.
The Grand Upright has been getting my attention lately YOUR THOUGHTS?

agreed on the grand upright. i wound up turning on my nord in a rush at a gig where i was late and not paying attention to what sound was up. the first tune called for piano, i hit the keys, heard piano and just kept playing. about 1/2 way through the song i realized it was the grand upright (i had been tweeking a live program with it the night before but forgot all about it). i loved it. thought it cut through perfectly and had a really nice midrange tone that blended nicely with the band. however, when it came to a song that i solo in, i wasn't thrilled with the higher octaves and switched back to the Velvet grand which is my go-to. i'll go back to it though and see what more eq love can do for those higher notes, since i really liked the overall character of it.
