- Between the new Nord Grand 2, the Yamaha YC88, and the Nord Stage 4, which digital piano has the best weighted key action? As you know I've done comparisons of the Nord Stage 4 and the Yamaha YC88 in the past, but with the addition of the Nord Grand 2, I have another weighted keyboard to throw in the mix! Excited about the potential of this keyboard and curious what you think?
If you've played these keyboards, which do you think has the best weighted keybed?

Thanks for watching and comment below with any questions you have and I will answer them as soon as I can!
I loved the CP/YC88 action but I also think it is a bit overweighted compared to a real grand even (I own a Yamaha C3X grand piano)... the problem is more exacerbated due to the fulcrum point too... still I really enjoyed my time playing the C7 sound on the CP88.
Particularly bring8n* across the 2 vs 4 weight/ bounce nuance.. great help thank you . Connection, yes 👍😀
It is great you compare action of these keyboards. I would love to see the comparison to K2700.
I was initially unsure about getting the 88-key Nord Stage 4, especially for playing organ or synth parts, but thank you for this video-it has helped me a lot. A few years ago, I had the Yamaha YC88, and while I thought its action was great for piano playing, it was difficult to get decent organ riffs out of it because the action was rather heavy. I currently have a Montage M8x, which is also an 88-key keyboard, but I was on the fence about getting the Nord Stage 4 in either the 88-key or compact version. Now, I think I’ll go for the 88-key model, as I might end up using it as my main piano-playing board and the action sounds like it will allow me to play organ and synth parts without to much bother.
I really my M8X keybed, really play well, I did not been tired playing hours. My pas board was the stage 3 88.
Grand 1 (keybed by Kawai) had the perfekt balance and feel for me. The 2 is not there and I don’t like it as much. I’m looking forward to try the Montage m8x and it’s GEX keybed, but I’m sad to say are really hard to find here in Sweden. Not even the self proclaimed ”biggest” music store in Stockholm have it on display. Apparently Yamaha limiting display units for some reason according to the store. Great way to sell the instrument not letting people try it! Thanx Yamaha.
As it is for action, i would like to see the comparison with added the P525 piano of Yamaha. This is such a nice playable action. As an instrument is not the same as the models you tested here. But the action of it can stand the test. Also a thing to mention is the price difference between Nord and Yamaha.
Nothing comes close to the action of the Kawai MP11SE
For Piano, I'd agree as I've got the same GF action at home. The original Nord Grand has the RH action from Kawai which isn't as good but the Nord samples work well with it, I've not played the Grand 2 yet. As an action which is a good compromise for Piano/Organ/synth id say the Stage 4 HA is great. I like the CP88 too but I don't like Yamaha samples half as much as the stuff from Nord.
Roland RD-2000 beats them all hands down.
Hmm, never played a Roland RD-2000 would think the Yamaha YC is hard to beat for action though.
@@Echochamber79 All personal preference of course - but the Roland has the best action I have ever tried. For me it is between that and the Kawai MP11 - Roland has a slight edge for me. Strictly speaking feel of the keyboard action here.
For those Nords it does sound like you have raised the treble (or bright timbre)- in general it sounds like that on all you videos. Am I right about that?
No, those were all normal timbre and I didn’t have any EQ on the board. I also don’t use any EQ or effects post processing.
@@DSoundman ok - strange.
Maybe there’s something in the export/youtube processing that screws with it a little?
