Wave 2 - gap at front of keyboard is uneven. Is yours?

Hi guys

I've received my new Nord Wave 2 this week - loving it so far, it's a versatile synth and I'm enjoying having a Nord synth with 5 octaves (I previously had a Wave 1).

I've noticed a bit of a manufacturing defect and was wondering if this is normal.

On my Wave 2, the gap at the front of the keys, before the black panel at the front, is smaller on the left side than the right side. It makes the whole keyboard look a little out of alignment. The difference isn't huge, but it's enough to see clearly while playing the instrument.

These photos don't do the difference justice, but may give you an idea of what I'm referring to.

I went to another music store and their demo unit was even more out of alignment, so I'm wondering if this is the norm for the Wave 2? If you have a Wave 2, I'd love to know if your keyboard has this problem.

Cheers and thanks!
Mike

Mine is like yours. I hadn't noticed till I saw your post. It doesn't bother me though.

The Wave 2 is such a great synth!

I have one of the first units in 2020, and the space is the same all along the waterfall edge of the keys. The gaps on the side of the keybed differ by about 1/16th of an inch. I wouldn't worry about it-

Hey guys, thanks for this info... sounds like some are fine and others are a bit crooked.

Not too worried, it's an amazing synth and I'm already enjoying exploring it...

Cheers!
