“An excellent, affordable and portable stage piano that stands head and shoulders above any other product on the market at this price point, 10/10”.

MusicTech magazine this month review the newest product release from Nord, the Nord Piano 88, where it is awarded the magazine’s ‘Excellence’ award.  This award is given to products receiving a 10 out of 10 rating, ‘the best in its class’.  In fact the magazine loved it so much that they wanted to give it 11 out of 10!

The Nord Piano 88 is an 88-note professional stage piano, designed with the performing musician in mind without compromising quality or means of expression.  It comes loaded from the factory with 19 meticulously sampled piano and harpsichord sounds. 120 programs showcase the possibilities you have with the selection of pianos and the onboard effects. Additional sounds are available for free on the included DVD or in the free V5 Piano Library area on the Nord website.

“An incredibly playable and natural-sounding digital acoustic piano that is every bit as versatile as it is portable”.

“Nord has made real development in stage pianos with the Piano that’s has us searching for a number 11 on our star ratings dial”.

“Any missings in this review are over-shadowed by the warmth and acoustic quality provided by the String Resonance and Pedal Noise options as well as the attention to detail in the original sampling”.

“This has to be the time to roll out the reviewers cliché of never wanting to send the machine back”. 

To read the full review pick up the August Issue of MusicTech Magazine (Issue 89) on sale now. The Nord Piano 88 is available now at £2091.50 RRP.
