Is Nord A good piano?
Nord keyboards generally have good keys for stage keyboards, and a quick test run will easily show you why. The keys on the Nord Piano 4 aren't the greatest, but they are by no means bad. The keys have the necessary heft and depth to feel like real keys, yet they feel very responsive.
Does the Nord Stage 3 have a metronome?
It has an onboard metronome which is very very useful. Currently I am not performing, and don't plan to perform anytime soon, although I would like to someday. But, I do get together with a friend and jam sometimes, which I really enjoy.
