I hope that it will be released and that it will sound a bit like the widely known U1.
Having that piano available on a Nord may help some 'schools' to make a move toward Nord keyboards.
It's quite reassuring when you plan to buy a Nord if you know you'll get that piano on it.

Didn't know the U1 was famous.

I encountered a U1 at school 20 years ago, then another one later in another school ...
Had the chance to find one again in a local shop a few days ago.
Plaid one 10 minutes that was at disposal where I was in holidays last winter.
It's like : when you see a U, you can go, it will sound good ;)
Also Yamaha did the ground breaking (in his time) entry level Disklavier in it.

(and in fairness to Yamaha, a used Yamaha U3) could eat a U1 for lunch.
