Nord Grand 2 Stage Piano
The Grand experience
The Nord Grand 2 features a new and improved Kawai responsive hammer keyboard with triple sensors for accurate tracking of hammer movement. Maintaining the ease of use of the original Nord Grand while adding dual layers of Piano and Synth, the Nord Grand 2 offers greater flexibility for performance and sound creation.
The well balanced and responsive triple sensor keybed features an advanced hammer mechanism providing extraordinary control through the entire dynamic range.
