What a superb pianist/keyboardist/musician and what a professional instrument reviewer. A talent in both departments. This is an automatic subscription from me.
This is far and away the best Nord demo that I have seen. It’s great that not only do you tell us what it can do…but then you proceed to show us. You are amazing at this, Tony. Nord needs to hire you !! I said that the Nord Stage 3 88 was as far as I was going…until I saw this. But Nord has taken a great instrument, and made it significantly better. Ok…I gotta have it. Thank you Tony for a great demo/master class. I hope you’re well paid !!
I have been watching your wonderful UA-cam videos for about 4 years as I know that Bonners is the place to go for top notch reviews but I must say you have surpassed yourself with this presentation. Just a phenomenal review from start to finish with stellar performances. I have never used a Nord but am seriously thinking about buying a stage 4 off the back of your great work. It’s a shame we don’t have your level of expertise here in the USA! Thank you!
Yes we do have experts in the USA. You just haven't found them. Goto Chuck Levin's in MD. Expert staff. That's a place to buy one in the USA. But this video is absolutely incredible. Such great songs and playing. His mastery of styles, and the way he jumps them every preset. Wow.
11:07 Oh God...no need for the jury to retire. BRILLIANT! By far this is the best review in sound, features presentation and warmth into the music I have seen for the Nord Stage 4, Thanks & Cheers!
Tony, you are the best. You play real songs that fit the patches, and do such a great job. I own a Stage 2, 3, and 4. I love all of them and was sold from the beginning. Nothing sounds better or is easier to use. What a demo to a beautiful instrument! Thanks for all you do. Rocky
A world class keyboard with the world class demo that it deserves! And such tasty chord voicings, especially of Amazing Grace. Thanks Tony for this fantastic demo.
You're doing a really great job. The Hammond demonstrations are also great. You are one of the few who play accurately and musically. Thank you very much.
I need to subscribe to this channel. Wow. You made this keyboard sound so good. Mainly because of your playing. You can make anything sound great. But the Stage 4, to me, sounds so good, I can't even think of another modern keyboard sounding as nice.
Everything's a beautiful patch when you're playing. I came across your channel this week and I just watch for the stunning demos. Inspirational. Thank you.
My goodness, so so so lovely, the most inspiring video I have ever seen on UA-cam. Makes me want to learn to play, to master the instrument, to be creative in new ways, to learn, to grow in new directions. Thank you so much!
Gotta love your videos! You are a master musician , you play with grace and your performance is unmatched. Please more videos! Can watch you play 24/7. God bless. P.S. You should create your own youtube channel and perform for all! We need this! Thanks for your talent and sharing it with the world.
What a demo! That's the most complete, professional and competent demo of an instrument I've ever seen. I'd not heard of Bonners before, but on the back of this, you'll be getting my business. Just need to choose between the fully weighted keyboard or the one on the compact, as I've always enjoyed synth style keys rather than hammer action piano keys. Anyway thanks for the excellent demo.
Thanks Tony. Best all-around demo and feature review I've seen on this fantastic instrument. Great playing too! As with many others here, I am now lusting for one of these.
Thumbs up for you, Tony. For sure your instrument demonstration, the way of explaining the various functions and multiple ways how to use this instrument is amazing. It has been a significant influence on my decision to finally buy this instrument. Thanks for your very helpful hints. I will love to watch more of your videos and feel myself on pleasant ease to choose the right keyboard by your advices .
That was a treat to watch! I started to learn with a Yamaha PSR 730 and the somewhere in my life, I just let it slip through. The keyboard is still with me, the display only has the lights working and it still is with me. Long story short... you inspire me to pick it up again. Thanks Tony!
What a machine!! The synth (Gladiator) "Morph Choir" sound piece is one of my favorites. 👌And immediately after that, the second "Morph Rudiments", give me real Goose bumps!! Im afraid knowing the price of this dream-machine..... 🤔😉👍
Thanks for the great vid. I'm about to buy a Stage 4 88 as I also think it has amazing piano sounds. You have answered virtually all my queries and greatly expanded my knowledge of its capabilities. Unfortunately I'm in Australia to won't be able to purchase from one of your stores. Again thanks for the most professional presentation I've seen on UA-cam.
good job with this demo! i don't like what nord stage presents on their site! most people play cover songs with it and they play the keyboard up and down on it i don't want to listen to it. This is very well done
Thanks for an amazing review of this beast of a keyboard Tony. I really enjoyed your masterful playing to demo the incredible sounds and features. Greetings from Sydney, Australia.
Going to keep my stage 3 compact. I was really hoping for audio in options, on the fly sampling, vocoder and FX routing. There isn’t enough there that I’d use live
Gold standard demo. Highly enjoyable playing with great real world examples that these instruments are actually made for. Time to upgrade my NS1 revB😅.
Great demo and great playing!!! I used to have a Nord Electro6 which unfortunately I had to sell, but after seeing your demo I know that the new Stage4 compact is in my short list for the future !!
Excellent video - clear, well presented, good structure, and thorough - fantastic! One question: you say the action is the same as on the Piano 5, which I believe was a Kawai keybed rather than Fatar -- is it really the same Kawai keybed on the Stage 4? Because the feel of the Piano 5 is much nicer than the Stage 3 was.
Thanks for that comprehensive introduction to that instrument. Where do I find the two samplers (Yamaha and Roland) to create that „even better Elton John sound“. Could not find ist in the Nord Library. Thanx a lot. Your explanatiotions on keyboards are always very interesting, informative and a pleasure to follow.
Ok, now the question is whether the volume faders have the “snap” mode. Let’s say the piano level is set to 70% with led indicator an physical fader, and you change the program on which you have the piano volume set to 20% (LED) and fader remains on the 70%, what happens when you move the fader? Does it instantly snap the real volume from 20 to 69 (displayed with LED), or nothing happens until you reach the level of 20 with physical fader? Because if there is a snap mode, there’s no use for the piano in live situation, since there are no motorized faders…
yeah, THATS normally the downside with sliders, compared to a knob. I guess it would be the same with the new organ drawbars. While I don't love the digital drawbars on my Stage 3, they eliminate the "jump"- issue when changing patch..

This demo is so good, it makes you want one even if you can’t play keys.
Yeah.... 😉 👍 😂 😂 😂 Like me!! 👌 What a dream machine. I could spend years listen to it....
I play guitar mainly but watching a proper musician like Tony demo his talent on any keyboard is a pleasure and privilege.😊
This is arguably the best product demo I've ever watched. Great job taking us through this amazing keyboard.
That’s how to demo a keyboard ! What a player, makes you wanna go and practice more! If that doesn’t sell it, nothing will!
Tony is probably the best keyboard demonstrator around. He is also a nice guy to deal with. Great demo. I want one ASAP!

One of the best demos I have ever seen! A man who let's the Keyboard do the talking while explaining what he's doing! Superb!

Nord really paid the right person to demonstrate this latest Nord keyboard. I was mesmerized by your music. Well done. Hope they pay you enough.
Thank you! But unfortunately Nord don't contribute to my demos 😢
@@bonnersmusic Hope they pay you soon.

Wow, thanks!
Fantastic demo. Really brings the instrument to life. The Elton John demo was wonderful!
Finally - someone who actually made a decent video demonstrating the Nord Stage 4. Sorry, J3PO...
Strongly Agreed
Poi si
When product demo is properly done, great job indeed as always Tony :)
A world class keyboard with the world class demo that it deserves! And such tasty chord voicings, especially of Amazing Grace. Thanks Tony for this fantastic demo.

You're doing a really great job. The Hammond demonstrations are also great. You are one of the few who play accurately and musically. Thank you very much.
Great! Finally we can ear the potential of the new stage 4. Thanks a lot.
This is an *outstanding* demonstration. It's a pleasure to see such superb playing. 😌👌👌👌
From badass bassist to killer keyboarder. We love you Mark King, and always will ❤️😎👌
Mark King? whooow
I Believe he only look like Mark king...? Its Maybe the norddemo- mark king though?
I need to subscribe to this channel. Wow. You made this keyboard sound so good. Mainly because of your playing. You can make anything sound great. But the Stage 4, to me, sounds so good, I can't even think of another modern keyboard sounding as nice.

Tony I always come to you for your demo. I will get this board over the montage after I saw this video. Thank you mate!
Brilliant Review, as usual. Thanks Tony!
Yaaaay Piano man Chuck in the house🎉🥳👏🏼🙌
You explained the functions of the keyboard very well. Great job! USA viewer.
I love watching just to hear you play! Beautiful!! 🎶
What a wonderful and rare combination of great presentation and musicianship! Thank you for an informative and enjoyable experience.
WOW. WHAT A DEMO !!! Incredible piece of technology and your expertise handling it shines as much as the instrument. Greetings from Paraguay.
Thank you very much!

The sound patches are amazing. Cuts through with no problem.
It´s always a pleasure to listen to your demo´s !
I never had any experience with a Nord 4. Someone just gave me one and this video is very helpful!!
What a demo! That's the most complete, professional and competent demo of an instrument I've ever seen. I'd not heard of Bonners before, but on the back of this, you'll be getting my business. Just need to choose between the fully weighted keyboard or the one on the compact, as I've always enjoyed synth style keys rather than hammer action piano keys.

Fantastic presentation, thank you. A Nord Stage is well out of my reach at the moment, but it sounds like it is worth every penny.
Glad it was helpful!
That intro was amazingly insane wow!
Thanks Tony. Best all-around demo and feature review I've seen on this fantastic instrument. Great playing too! As with many others here, I am now lusting for one of these.
Wow, thanks!
Just love watching you play the piano demos.. sounds beautiful
Great Job - Excellent demo by a fabulous Keyboard Player
Wow this looks great. Nice one Tony! 👍

Grateful to this interesting and very well done presentation of this fantastic keyboard ! Many thanks !
You are an awesome and amazing piano player. The best person to demonstrate this ultimate Nord keyboard.
Wow, thanks!
Great demo. Thank you. Wish we had a Bonners Piano Centre here in the US. 🙂
Maybe one day!
Such an elaborated video! Well done my friend! Really appreciate you diving into depth, but overall your playing 🤝🏼 such class
That was awesome. Could you do a couple more videos? This one really help me to grasp what I can do. thanks so much!

Nice Demo, Better as all the NS4 Demo’s till yet!
This is a monster! There’s nothing better. I own a ns2, still sounds great. Great demo video! Greetings from Germany
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the great vid. I'm about to buy a Stage 4 88 as I also think it has amazing piano sounds. You have answered virtually all my queries and greatly expanded my knowledge of its capabilities.

This keyboard cannot get any better than this. Soooooo awesome!!!!!!
Yes, you are a master in teaching and hands-on of keyed instruments. Thank you so much for creating this video.
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful sounds !
Brilliant demonstration !
good job with this demo! i don't like what nord stage presents on their site! most people play cover songs with it and they play the keyboard up and down on it i don't want to listen to it. This is very well done
Sir, you're a FANTASTIC keyboardist/piano player, pleasure to watch
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you
Great demo! Great musician! Great keyboard! Thank you!
Great video! The organ engine is still one of the best clonewheel model in the world... Thank you!
Thanks for an amazing review of this beast of a keyboard Tony. I really enjoyed your masterful playing to demo the incredible sounds and features. Greetings from Sydney, Australia.
Thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated and I hope my work helps keyboard players all over the World
Good Job! You get a good idea about what the Stage4 is capable of. 👍
This is a really good demo. Thanks. Other demos left me with questions, yours is a full on show and tell!!!!! Loved it!
Nice demo Tony!! My Electro6D is nice but I’m leaning towards that Stage 4 now.
Going to keep my stage 3 compact. I was really hoping for audio in options, on the fly sampling, vocoder and FX routing. There isn’t enough there that I’d use live
Thank you for this review 👏🏼👏🏼 Best as always 👍🏽
Gold standard demo. Highly enjoyable playing with great real world examples that these instruments are actually made for. Time to upgrade my NS1 revB😅.
Hey thank you so much for making this! I mean I’d appreciate 8 more going through every nuance of the synth section but I’ll settle for this length :)
Brilliant playing and a really helpful, informative video - thank you Tony
Glad you enjoyed it
Great demo and great playing!!!
I used to have a Nord Electro6 which unfortunately I had to sell, but after seeing your demo I know that the new Stage4 compact is in my short list for the future !!
Tony you are a true maestro. I drool every time I hear you play.
This was simply amazing. Tony, you are as great a teacher as you are a keyboard artist.
Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful playing Tony!
Excellent video - clear, well presented, good structure, and thorough - fantastic! One question: you say the action is the same as on the Piano 5, which I believe was a Kawai keybed rather than Fatar -- is it really the same Kawai keybed on the Stage 4? Because the feel of the Piano 5 is much nicer than the Stage 3 was.
The Keybed on the Nord Grand is Kawai, but on the NS4, I believe it is Fatar, which is the same as Piano 5
@@bonnersmusic Doh! You're right of course, thanks for the clarification. That Kawai bed is sweeeet though...
Well done, Tony - excellent review.
Thank you. Much appreciated!
Excellent Demo!
Thank you!
Thanks Bonners so much for your presentation this time !!! THis is really good and hi -quality product ......
Brilliant demonstration of this keyboard..🥃🥃🥃
The ultime dream of a serious keyboardist!
Jetzt weiß ich's: Diese wunderschöne Musik bei ca. 7:06, es ist "Hello Again" von Neil Diamond, super schön gespielt!!
Thank you so much for this fantastic demo! I'm looking forward to upgrade to this keyboard one day from the NS2
Sounding good!Good demonstration!
Very nice and inspiring demo Tony! It’s the best one I heard…unfortunately, I live in Belgium and I still don’t know where to buy.
Great playing. Great keyboard. Thanks for the thorough run through.
Well done Tony! Now I really want one.
Fantastic demo but enjoy your playing technique. Thanks for sharing excellent
Did I hear Doobie Brothers and Neil Diamond in your example of Piano?
Awesome interpretations and pleasing to the ears.
"Like" button pressed .
Taking it to the streets?
The intro = instant like
Great presentation, talent and inspirational music! thank you for your job an for sharing Tony!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

Does it instantly snap the real volume from 20 to 69 (displayed with LED), or nothing happens until you reach the level of 20 with physical fader? Because if there is a snap mode, there’s no use for the piano in live situation, since there are no motorized faders…
yeah, THATS normally the downside with sliders, compared to a knob. I guess it would be the same with the new organ drawbars. While I don't love the digital drawbars on my Stage 3, they eliminate the "jump"- issue when changing patch..

Glad you liked it! Thanks for your support
Very nice guide! Can you assign the positions of the single drawbars of the organ to the morph function? Thanks!
Amazing Nord
Tony Tony Tony! (your playing just inspires, mate)
Thank you!
How many presets come loaded in this beauty? And this guy is amazing.
Wow great demo - I'll start saving today. LOL
