The Nord Grand

The Swedish company's iconic red keyboards have long graced top-line tour rigs, stages, and studios worldwide. Now, the Nord Grand raises the bar for digital pianos once again. Featuring Kawai's premium Responsive Hammer keybed with Ivory Touch and advanced triple sensors that capture hammer movements with extraordinary precision, the Nord Grand provides the flawless feel of an acoustic grand piano. Sonically, the Nord Grand's Advanced String Resonance delivers the real deal, serving up a banquet of rich-sounding Grand and Upright, as well as Electric and Digital pianos from the acclaimed Nord Piano Library. The Sample Synth section includes a broad palette of Strings, Brass, Synths, Choirs, and many other high-quality sounds. With its advanced performance features, natural piano feel, stellar sounds, intuitive, hands-on controls, studio-grade effects, and lightweight, roadworthy, chassis, Seamusician considers the Nord Grand a formidable contender for "ultimate stage piano."

Delivers the grand experience

Nord's first stage piano to feature triple sensors that track hammer movements rather than the keys, the Nord Grand offers the smooth, dynamic playing feel of a real acoustic grand. Since what you hear affects what you play, generous 120-voice polyphony ensures that each note played — and sustained — will be heard, giving you a natural acoustic piano playing experience. Your playing technique will also benefit from the uncanny realism of the included 
Nord Triple Pedal with Dynamic Pedal Noise.

Kawai Responsive Hammer keybed with Ivory Touch

The Nord Grand's beautifully balanced and ultra-responsive triple-sensor Kawai keybed features a state-of-the-art mechanism that provides amazing control when you are playing percussively or pianissimo with fluent repetitions, where you're re-triggering without completely lifting the virtual hammers. The addition of Ivory Touch textured key surfaces gives the keyboard the authentic feel of an acoustic concert grand piano.
