Nord User Forum

so, im thinking about getting a nord piano and heres my thing. Im the main backline tech for my church and currently have a 2 Roland Fantom X8 keyboards. One being our main piano sound (and its horrible at that haha). But, we have a few people that just pound on the thing and in the end, the keys end up cutting through the felt and cracking the frames. Therefore i have to repair them constantly and its a pain haha. So, my question is what type of key weighting system is in the Nord? and would it be prone to pre-mature failure from weak points in the system? I know its an interesting question haha but im curious if anyone would know

Hey bassist,

Except for my initial problems with my first NP, I've had no issues with the second one they sent me. I'm a pretty percussive player (everybody says I'm "pounding") and no problems in 5+ months...

Hello Bassist,
Welcome to the forum!
I can sympathize because I'm a very heavy handed player "literally".

The Nord Piano and several other Nord hammer action instruments use the Fatar TP/40 keybed:


It's a very durable keyboard, I've played one for about 2 years without any ill effects.
Cheers, Hanon

oh thats exactly what i was looking for! that you both!! very very appreciated!!
