Feature:
It's got everything I need. Leslie sounds incredible! Effects are cool too, but the Wah could screech more. Not bad for 1's and 0's though!

Quality:
I've had mine for 4-years. Very rugged design. In that time I've replaced 2 plastic keys (my fault) and I've had to clean the contacts on the key sensors under the keys yearly. (tools needed: phillips screwdriver, rubbing alcohol, q-tips, and a paper clip to remove and re-secure the silicon tabs that hold the silicone actuators on the sensor board.) This is just standard maintainance though. Otherwise, no problems.

Value:
It's worth every penny.

Desirability:
It's red, man! Yeah, the draw bar led's are wicked cool too! Wood end-caps and steel chassis, very vintage.

Sound:
Ya know how it's hard to go back to playing an rhodes piano sound on a keyboard after you've just played a real rhodes?...wurly?... B3?... Clav?... If you do, and you're tired of having to sacrifice sound for portability, get this keyboard. If I could describe the tone of the instrument I would use one word: Authentic. Period.

Ease of Use:
The panel is very non-intimidating and straight-forward. I was up and running in no time at all. Talk about instant gratification! {=

Support:
Yep, I had the key sensors cleaned under warranty once. Very easy to deal with. Also, the people at Armadillo who sent me the replacement plastic keys were very easy to deal with too.

Overall:
I will never sell it. Thieves... I can't bear the thought...

Feature:
I would've given a 10 here but I really don't like the ring effect on board, although the hammond drawbars are pretty darn close, clav effects are great, overdrive is so-so,(only on fender pianos does it sound incredible)

Quality:
for the color i give it a 10 i shines in the spotlight of a show..plus I never get sick of answering "What is that it sounds friggin incredible !" also its metal not plastic, and the wood cover are cool too..

Value:
can live without it...if was broken or stolen would def get new one...or maybe even the new stage nord...I have the electro 2 76keys

Sound:
If your looking for a rig that will provide all the old school funky sounds such as clav, fender rhodes, and a great hammond b3, then this is for you...now it took me sometime to save up for it, but it paying off...I really can't see myself playing without it...Great look to board as well!!!

Ease of Use:
once again hammond drawbars and very easy to use...chorus and percussion right on...

Support:
can't really give nord a perfect score, never really needed assistance over the phone as of yet...but i did go online and downloaded some new acoustic pianos which still are not that good but is a very fluid system to use..

This keyboard probably has the best Rhodes sound I've ever played on. (Next to the real thing) The organ section stands up to any of the B3 emulators out there; Korg, Roland, Hammond, Voce... etc. One unique thing about the Nord's organ is the digital drawbars. They're easy to get used to and no threat to breaking off, which can happen with the other keyboards out there. The wurlizter piano is also great. Not to mention the effects section. Its very easy to modify your sound on the fly with the push of a button or twist of a knob and it also has several user presets. Here are the drawbacks. It does have midi, but.... it can only be used to access the 2nd organ manual or the selected piano sound. In other words, this is not a multi-timbral device. If you have the rhodes sound selected on the electro that is the only sound that can be played. It would be nice to be able to have rhodes accessed from a midi keyboard and still play the organ or clav on the electro. There is also a short delay when switching from organ back to the piano sounds, but nothing that isn't managable especially with the presets. Another drawback is that the organ is octave shiftable, but the pianos are not. I believe F2 is the lowest note on the keyboard and E2 is the lowest note in the samples. This is similar for the upper register. The clav an acoustic piano sounds aren't the highlights for sure, but with the effects section you can easily tweek them to fit your need. These are the only negative things I can say about the unit. Aside from jazz gigs, which I use a P80 for, I can forsee it being the only keyboard I need for gigging, its that good. I ordered this keyboard in 11-01 and had to wait until 2-02 to get it, but it was well worth the wait.

Feature:
more piano sounds but materials are the best you can buy.

Value:
heavy price but a unique pro vibe w/this unit.

Desirability:
a real 10.the corvette of keyboards.not a volvo.

Sound:
king of retro key sounds.acoustic piano sound is very limited.but all the rest are very cool.semi weighted keys are responsive w/waterfall design.

Ease of Use:
retro vibe is order of the day.very chill axe.

Support:
easy contact.wanted 20$ for a new manual after 1,700$ gimmea break.welcome to the 21st cen.

Overall:
almost too nice to gig out with.

Feature:
As far as features, this board has just what you need and nothing you don't.

Quality:
This thing is pretty solid. Wood endcaps are a nice touch.

Value:
Pricey, but it gets the job done well.

Desirability:
If it was stolen, I would get another.

Sound:
The organ is pretty killer, rhodes dead on, wurly dead on, clav is good, I dont use the Electric grand much, and the Acoustic piano has very good potential if used properly. The piano really needs good reverb on it to sound good. Some people complain about no built in reverb, but you can get a much better sound from a high quality outboard reverb unit in most cases.

Ease of Use:
This board is stupid simple to use. All the main features are self explanatory, some configuration settings required the manual, but were not difficult.

Support:
Haven't had to deal with them.

Overall:
This is just a fantastic jam keyboard, and if you look at what it does and compare it to size and weight, it's really rather impressive.

Feature:
Amazing real time control of effects, like leslie, wah wah, distortion, etc.,

Quality:
solid

Value:
its not cheap but it blows away the competition if you want an electric piano.

Desirability:
its red

Sound:
This is the most expressive electric keyboard I've ever played. It takes a few days to get used to the touch, and then you can make it sing.

Support:
don't know yet

Feature:
Everything a gigging player needs is one push away, once you start using the preset feature.

Quality:
Some minor problems with sticky buttons on my new one, but no service tech required.

Value:
Expensive, and multitimbral would be nice, but hey, you get what you pay for.

Desirability:
Couldn't be without it.....will sell my Roland 88 note weighted piano before I would live without my red beast.

Sound:
Lots of people knock the acoustic piano sounds, but to my ears it is the least 'digital' sounding piano sound out there. The action takes a little getting used to, and to that end maybe some players don't access the full range of the piano sample....completely awesome within a band context.

Support:
I've e-mailed Sweden and received quick response.....haven't really needed any support, though.

Overall:
I've finally found a keyboard worthy of being classified as an "instrument".

Feature:
Could use some onboard reverb

Value:
For this price the above noted flaws shouldn't be there.

Sound:
Organ and Leslie are right on the money. Acoustic pianos are a bit weak (the electric piano is far better than the acoustic one - but Clavia notes this...better stuff is coming.) My only real complaint is the key click is a little bit off, and the overdrive doesn't sound quite right with the organ - it "heads off in the wrong direction".

Overall:
This keyboard does everything I need for a rock/blues gig.

The Nord Electro 2 is the best, lightest, strongest sounding pro keyboard. It puts all of its energy into the classic sound kit for the modern and retro player: B3 organ, D6 clavinet, Rhodes, Wirlitzer, and Piano. It is the 'bomb.' Nothing made compares to it. The sounds are all super strong, real, and exciting--with the best on board/on the fly effects modulation (ring modulator, wah, flange, overdrive) It is as light as a guitar, and a very heavy instrument. THANK YOU CLAVIA!
