How to verify authenticity of stage 4?

Hey guys, I bought a nord stage 4 recently for $3500 it’s in good condition. The seller said he really needed the money for his move, so he sold it to me for a low price.

How can I verify the authenticity?

NS4 and gigging (weight and stand)

Looking for some experienced advice/ opinions on the NS4 and gigging.

I recently got a Nord Stage 4 and LOVE it (moving from a Yamaha p45 so major upgrade) the only thing I’m struggling with at the minute is oh my gawd this thing is HEAVY [or it may just be that I’m 100% not used to its weight and size yet]

Anyways. I’m wondering how you guys navigate shows with the NS4. I have the soft case with wheels which is great on flat surfaces but as soon as I reach a flight of stairs (and I’m currently on the toilet tour circuit so there’s a lot of very interesting versions of load-in ‘stairs’) I’m at a loss. There’s no shoulder or back straps on the case so I’m wondering if it’s just a ‘suck it up’ kind of thing or there’s some advice a seasoned owner could offer.

Second thing is. I have the leg stand for it (the ones that screw into the bottom of the keyboard). Love the look and awesome for having at home but it seems a right faff every time I travel with it and when setting up at shows, can anyone recommend a decent X stand that can be used for this? (Also, while I’m here. The metal bars that go between the back two legs. How bad for the gear would it really be if every so often I didn’t attach them)

Organ Glissando Effect on Nord Stage 4

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone know if this sort of organ glissando is possible on the NS4 (or any Nord keyboard) https://youtu.be/HkEknGcrR-E?si=aTPrGq0HEJWKsgQW&t=9

In my experience glissing on a Nord sounds more like a literal glissando of all of the notes and not this type of effect. I'm curious if it's possible to recreate at all.

Thanks!

Hey, im looking to buy my first Nord. But i dont have a chance to try the Nord Electro 6HP.

How is the keybed/action? I heard somewhere, that it is cheap and plastic sounding. I always loved the feeling on a Nord Stage.

Im no jazz pianist, studio use only, no gigs. I couldnt find any video of electro 6 hp keybed sound.

Thank you

Does my new NS4 have a defective keybed?

I recently received my new Nord Stage 4. I’m coming from a Yamaha background, and I’ve noticed that the sound the Nord’s keys make when released feels quite different.

When I press a key fully down and let it snap back up, it produces noticeably more noise compared to my Yamaha. This seems to happen on almost every key, which makes me think it might just be how the instrument is designed rather than a defect.

I also tried a demo unit in a store, and it seemed to have a similar noise when the keys were released more aggressively.

Is this normal behavior for Nord keyboards, or could mine be faulty?

Stand Recommendations Nord Grand 2

I'm still debating whether or not to go for a digital piano or a stage piano, but I'm now looking at pricing to understand what budget I have to put aside.

Given that I'm leaning towards buying a Nord Grand 2, I'm not entirely sure what stand I should acquire. I'm interested in the König & Meyer stand, because it's a modular one which is interesting. However, I'm a bit lost as to what I should buy. The Omega Pro stand looks like it's the best fit and is not ridiculously expensive. However, I plan to buy the Nord monitors as well, but I'm not sure what I should get to mount them. Given that I regularly practice with my laptop to show music sheets etc, getting the laptop stand is a bit of a no-brainer.

Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations?

(I'm getting a request to add a flair to this post, but for some reason the UI is not showing that option here - Brave browser),
