Yeah! But does it also come in sandblasted, black polished chrome, vintage white, or ... you know what I mean?

I like the artisanal vibe.

Dear Nord, why delete a friendly yet critical comment? Just because I suggested it would be great to see some new samples added (like a C7 or Rhodes)? Deleting constructive feedback really doesn't fit the reputation and professional standards of a premium brand like Nord. Very disappointing.

I live in Florida and I purchased a Piano 6 about 10 months ago. I love it. I was amazed to see that the piano in my home was built by the same craftspeople that were in this video. My piano is better traveled than I am.

This video is superb… I loved it! Hey people from Nord Keyboards or anyone who can help… HOW MAY I TALK TO A NORD BUSINESS STRATEGY GUY? Someone I could discuss a possible supply partnership which has a potential for increasing the Added Value on each Nord keyboard sold.

I interviewed for a job there once, and messed up the interview completely by being in "I'm not worthy" mode and hardly being able to say anything. 😀
But I bought a Nord Modular as compensation.

I really like my Nord Drum 3P and I have a Nord Lead 2X Anniversary. The drum is extremely handy. I tend to use the NL2X as a "general purpose" synth to cover things that I need.
Excellent value for money, lovely design aesthetics.
It's always nice to see how the Synths that I use are designed and who makes them.
Cheers, Nord.

I dunno, those red panels and bulky sliders seem very ugly to me.

I remember the first time I played a Nord stage in a music shop in the Tottenham Court Road/Denmark Street area of London back in the day. I was immediately smitten and they practically had to throw me out at closing time.
I swore one day I would own one. I managed finally to get my hands on my first Nord some years later and I had it for 8 years, until I upgraded it. I now have a Stage 4 and an Electrro 6D for organ duties.
The thing is, I didn't know anything about the background of Nord, but watching this film, absolutely nothing in it has surprised me at all. You can kind of feel it all in the instruments they make.
This could well be the finest promotional film I have ever seen.

Watching this makes me realized that the price of a Nord is worth every penny, I don't believe most competitors have this many local manufacturers working together with the same level of craftsmanship. Makes me want to buy one just knowing the amount of builders it took to put it together.

Deal! Aaby stick it is!
@solidarius6400Bring back the Modular series thanks.
@No.0.o.0China will try to copy your products as they always do
@marpin6162I can not play keys at all, just dabble in having fun with synths, but I would easily pay for a Nord to just donate to the good cause.
Awesome video, fantastic company.
Thanks for showing us this. What an amazing company and group of people creating masterful instruments. Many more companies should follow your lead.
@TikitanedadWould love to enjoy this, but Nord is quick to make new keyboards and leave behind the users of old models. I have a piano 5 AND a Nord Grand 1, and neither can make use of these sounds...
@tshoobayo, im so broken to buy one of these lol i live in brazil is 2x more dificult
@eunaosouojj4881Nord Keys 🎹 rock 🤘

@DancanBestTebandekeAs a musician, pianist, big fan of nord and big fan of "in the factory" videos, this was like the holy grail. Thank you so much for this video, I would watch an entire series hours long. My hearth feels warm RN.
@Againmike33I love you guys!
@GabrielGaiardo❤❤❤❤❤❤
@GabrielGaiardoI knew i always wanted one. Now i only have to earn how to play.
@jukkakamala10:41 Even the saw is in tune with the soundtrack!
@marambaiamusic1This is cool , I wish could afford a Nord .
@jerryjacob75this is documentary level. thank you for putting this together, so cool
@wolfvcsI love this, as "kindof" an artist and maker. appreciate seeing people choosing hard yet rewarding job and contract and life and happy for Sweden too.
@notaspectatorcalling it aaby stick from now on
@le0n439The sound is just so good. Lots of rich sounds . People critique parts and memory and connections but that sound is just resolutely so rich and warm. I don’t know how they donut but they do and it’s a fantastic keyboard and loyalty . Bravo
@timallen6025No detuned super-saw 👎
@HARDSTYLE1Wow! Very impressive and really shows the personal touch in the quality. I have been playing a nord stage 3 for 5 years. Can‘t even begin to describe how much I love my nord. Every time I turn it on it feels amazing and brings me joy and appreciation to have this masterpiece. Best there is. Thank You for this incredible video, that is making me appreciate my instrument even further. ❤
