Clavia Nord Stage 2 HA88

sound demonstration review

I own a Clavia Nord Stage 2 and a Electro 3HP due to smooth transport on easy gigs.

The recorded Piano sounds on Clavia is really something extra? Judge yourself.

I downloaded the latest Bösendorfer sample of 200mb and tried a direct recording straight in to my RME FireFace UFX via Wavelab 6. No added EQ, just some reverb and some strings from the Clavia Nord Stage 2 synth section.(Grand Imperial Bdorf XL 5.3 npno 196,9 MB)

Clavia Nord Electro 3 HP 

"The Electro 3 HP has all the features of the original Electro 3 but sports a new 73-key Hammer Action Portable keybed, with a classic E-E range and 4 selectable Dynamic Response Curves. Amazingly, the Electro 3 HP only weighs 11 kg, making it the most ultra light weight professional Hammer Action keyboard on the market."
