Nord Grand Hammer Action Digital Stage Piano, 88-Key

The Nord Grand features a premium weighted keybed with advanced triple sensors that capture the movements of the hammers with exceptional precision, delivering the smooth and natural feel of an acoustic grand piano.

Incorporating Nord's award-winning performance features and hands-on user interface, the lightweight Nord Grand not only provides an extraordinary playing experience, but is also an elegant new approach to Nord's stage piano series.

The Grand Experience

The Nord Grand is Nord's first stage piano to feature triple sensors that track the movements on the hammers rather than the keys delivering the smooth dynamic touch of an acoustic grand.

Kawai Responsive Hammer keybed with Ivory Touch

The well-balanced and responsive triple sensor keybed features an advanced mechanism providing extraordinary control both when playing percussively as well as pianissimo with fluent repetitions and retriggering without lifting the key completely. The addition of an Ivory Touch surface gives the keybed an optimal feel and authenticity.

Live Performance Beast
