One Electric Piano

A piano is a timeless addition to any home, offering both creative expression and everyday enjoyment. For those seeking versatility and portability, an electric piano is an excellent choice. It combines the feel of an acoustic piano with the convenience and flexibility needed for modern living and performance.

The one electric piano we think you should own is the Nord Piano 6.

The Nord Piano 6 builds on Nord’s reputation for craftsmanship and innovation, offering a highly playable and flexible instrument suited for both home and stage. Available in 88- and 73-key versions, it features a redesigned interface with dedicated LED faders for Piano and Synth sections, allowing for intuitive control and quick sound adjustments during performance or recording.

At the core of the Nord Piano 6 is a premium Triple Sensor keybed, delivering a natural and highly responsive playing experience. The piano section draws from Nord’s exclusive Piano Library, with a wide range of Grands, Uprights, and Electric Pianos captured using state-of-the-art sampling techniques. New additions like Dynamic Compression and Unison modes further enhance expressiveness, helping players achieve a rich and nuanced sound.

The Sample Synth section introduces two independent layers, equipped with an updated collection of sounds including strings, winds, brass, guitars, and classic analog synth tones. The factory library features exclusive samples from renowned collections like Spitfire, Symphobia, and Swing. Intuitive controls for attack, decay/sustain, release, and velocity response make it easy to shape sounds to fit any style.

Each Piano and Synth layer has its own dedicated effects engine, offering an expanded selection of reverbs, delays, amps, and modulation effects. This flexibility makes the Nord Piano 6 equally capable in solo performances, band settings, and studio sessions.

Lightweight, durable, and thoughtfully designed, the Nord Piano 6 is a standout choice for musicians who want premium sound and playability in a portable package.
