NORD Grand 2

NORD Grand 2 – Premium Stage Piano with Realistic Touch and Creative Power

The NORD Grand 2 is a premium stage piano designed for discerning players who expect both authenticity and flexibility. Featuring 88 keys with Kawai Responsive Hammer action and triple sensor technology, the instrument produces expressive dynamics similar to an acoustic grand. Its dual engines for piano and sample synths, paired with a sophisticated real-time control interface, set the Grand 2 apart in its class. Integration of advanced layering, dedicated effects for each layer, and access to the world-renowned Nord Piano Library provide a compelling tool for performers and composers. For artists who require a deeply playable stage instrument with creative options that go beyond typical digital pianos, this model stands out.

Standout Features – Innovative Layering and Enhanced Effects

What distinguishes the Grand 2 is its dual-layer architecture, supporting simultaneous use of 2 independent pianos and 2 sample synths. Dedicated effect sections for each layer—featuring new spring, booth, and cathedral reverbs, plus the innovative Spin rotary effect and improved unison—expand your sound palette. Pianists benefit from Kawai’s latest keybed modifications, which minimize noise and increase mechanical stability for ultra-responsive and quiet performance, even on demanding stages.

Keybed and Playability – Pro-Level Feel

With its real hammer action and triple sensor system, the keyboard offers detailed response through every dynamic level. Musicians performing rapid runs or subtle pianissimo passages will find the action consistent and natural, highlighting expressive nuances in every note.
