Nordic hearts are a flutter as the new Nord Stage 4 breaks cover. The official premiere is 16 February 2023, and, as usual, details are escaping early. Surely, Nord will feature the NS4 at NAMM 2023 (13-15 April 2023).
The Nord Stage 4 has three models:
- Fully-weighted 88 keys ($5699 USD MAP)
- Fully-weighted 73 keys HA73 ($5399 USD)
- Semi-weighted 73 keys Compact ($4899 USD)
Stage 4 Youtube videos are now unlocked.
The prices are high — typical for a premium product. Forum folk like to trash the Yamaha Genos price, $6000 MAP. When it comes to premium keyboards, please don’t click on the Buy button. Shop around. Find a reliable independent dealer who is willing to negotiate. When it comes to arrangers, I recommend AudioProCT in Connecticut. Visit the store or call to see if they will beat the Minimum Advertised Price (MAP). I bought Genos for less than the MAP price of an NS4 Compact.
Also, there is a rumor of a partnership agreement between Nord and Fazioli for Fazioli/Nord hybrid grand pianos. Fazioli craft beautiful “Special Models” like the Marco Polo.
A match made in (marketing) heaven. 🙂
