Hi!
I own a Nord Stage 3 Compact, and I really love it! I'm using it everyday for practice, and I've used it a lot for recording my songs. However, I would like to have a piano with weighted keys, great samples/sounds (especially grand/upright piano-sounds, as well as rhodes/wurlitzer-sounds), and easy to move around. I play a lot of concerts, and it would be great to have a piano that could work both for designing different sounds and moving around easily.
Therefore, I was wondering is you have any suggestions for a piano that's a bit similar to Nord Stage 3, but with a better piano feeling, and also with great samples/sounds. And I don't need as many functions as the Nord Stage offers. I don't actually need the synth- and organ-sections. My budget is around 2000 dollar.
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
From your gear info, looks like you have a Nord Piano 3... if that is true, isn't it what you need?

What about a Nord Piano 6 73? Or a used 5 73.

Don't sell the NS3C, just add a nice weighted controller and you'll be all set. There's no law that says you can only use one keyboard at a time.LessieHoeger wrote: ↑18 Mar 2025, 09:22 Hi!

I've played with a rig like this for many years, and it's perfect for me. Started with NS3C with an older Nord Piano 3 underneath, now it's a NS4C with my short NP5 underneath. The NP5 gets used for duo/trio work, the full rig for everything else.
I think I have gear issues ....
