Nord’s piano actions

[Ecaroh]

Hi,

Nowadays it’s quite rare to have a chance to really test and compare hardware like digital pianos. That’s why I’d like to have comments on Nord current line piano action: Stage 4, Piano 6 and Grand 2. Is there significant difference? All of them have 3 sensor actions. I believe that Stage 4 and Piano 6 have quite similar touch but Grand is a bit more real piano like. Last time I had chance to play shortly Grand 2 it felt ok but perhaps not that much different compared to others. Of course this is highly subjective but still I’d like hear others (perhaps with more testing time spent) opinions about them.

I haven’t tested np6 but I had a chance to compare np5 and ns4 a while ago. Their difference was somewhat bigger than I expected. To me ns4 felt noticeably lighter. Being mainly a piano player I ended up buying np5, but I understand that the lighter action of ns4 may be a better compromise for mixed piano/organ/synth use. Also I haven’t tested ng2, but I tested ng1 and liked it a lot - it’s just a too heavy instrument for my use.
