Nord Piano 5 73 Stage Piano EX-DISPLAY

Nord Piano 5 73 Stage Piano EX-DISPLAY Overview

Overview by GAK

The Piano 5 EX-DISPLAY Nord’s upgraded and revitalised version of their universally acclaimed Piano 4 - is their greatest stage piano yet. Packing a wealth of exciting features, unparalleled sonic flexibility and a range of stunning sounds, the Piano 5 is another winner from the Swedish company.

Same Features, Compact Size

This is the 73-key version of Nord’s Piano 5. Unlike the Piano 4, which didn’t offer a 73-key iteration, the Piano 5 offers a more compact, lightweight and affordable solution. If you need to regularly transport your Piano 5 or need to conserve space in your studio, the 73-key model is a great choice.

Just like its bigger 88-key sibling, the 73-key variant of the Piano 5 features Nord’s state-of-the-art Virtual Hammer Action Technology, grand weighted action and Triple Sensor keybed. Combined with the gloriously detailed onboard sounds, the Piano 5 has easily one of the most authentic and expressive playing experiences a digital keyboard has to offer.

Equipped with a twice as powerful sound engine, doubled sample memory and improved effects, the Nord Piano 5 is a more-than-worthy successor to the Piano 4. If you’re in the market for a stage piano that can cover all the sonic bases, feels great to play and has a pro-grade sound, the Piano 5 should be on your list.
