Swedish top quality
Nord pianos are unique as they are the only major digital piano brand to design and manufacture their instruments entirely in Europe. The Swedish instrument maker – formerly known as Clavia – started in the 1980s with digital drum kits and shifted focus in the 1990s to digital synthesizers. In 2005, Nord introduced the Nord Stage, a revolutionary stage piano combining high-quality organ and piano sounds. Today, the Nord Stage and Nord Piano are among the most beloved instruments for live musicians in the pop and jazz circuit. The iconic red pianos are seen on the biggest stages worldwide and also have their place in countless studios.
Made for the stage
But what makes the Nord pianos so popular among live musicians?
Nord was the first manufacturer to apply the button-per-function principle to a modern digital stage piano. This allows the pianist to adjust almost any parameter easily with a single knob, without navigating through complex menus. This is a huge advantage for live performances, as musicians maintain full control over their instrument during a performance.
In addition, Nord pianos are renowned for their high sound quality and the wide range of built-in effects. Another major advantage is the Nord Sample Library, which allows you to expand or replace the internal sounds with free downloads from the Nord website. Moreover, you can even create your own samples and upload them into the Nord Stage 3, offering limitless creative possibilities.
