Nord Piano 2 HP73 Price vs Electro 4 HP Price?

Post by patrickdafunk »

Hi all,
I am wondering, why is the Nord Piano 2 HP73 the same price as the Electro 4 HP73?
I don't get this. Is it because it's new? Because the Electro 4 is basically the same, but WITH the extra organ section. Or am I missing something here?

I don't really need the organ, so was considering the Nord Piano 2 HP, but since it's the same price.. I am thinking to go for the Electro.

the Nord Piano 2 HP73 can play 2 sound simultaneously (like piano with strings layered) the Electro 4 HP73 can't do that!!!
A difficult choice to make.......which one?

The Nord Piano 2 also has more piano memory and more advanced string resonance than the Electro 4 73 HP.

To me, the Piano 2 HA 88 is a better bargain than the HP 73 as in addition to the extra octave of keys, the Nord Triple Pedal unit is included.

They charge more to get the 73 + the Triple Pedal add on (though I understand some prefer the portability and/or feel of the HP 73). If you only care about sustain, maybe you don't need the Triple Pedal, but as a Piano 2 HA 88 owner, I love mine.

Hi.
The Electro hasn´t got the "catch the release" feature, too. I had the NE4HP for a test and I was strongly disappointed about the HP keybed.
The HA is better. Yes, the organ section... NORD knows how to confuse their customers.
