It absorbs moisture and gives your fingers grip, which matters most on long gigs and in hot rooms. Acoustic piano makers have used the same idea for years as a synthetic replacement for real ivory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrand 2 or Piano 6?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick by keybed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you came from an acoustic piano and the action is the thing you notice first, the Grand 2 and its Kawai hammer action is the one. If you are switching between piano, pads and organ across a set and want lighter, faster response and a lighter load in, the Piano 6 Triple Sensor keybed is the better tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho Is the Grand 2 For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePianists first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you trained on an acoustic instrument and the action is the thing you judge a keyboard by within ten seconds, this is the Nord built for you.

It expects a PA, keyboard amp or monitors. If you want a self contained instrument for a living room, a console digital piano is a better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I load additional piano sounds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.

If you need a dedicated synth section alongside the piano, look at the Piano 6 or the Stage 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich pedal should I use with it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Nord Triple Pedal 2, AMS-NTP2, is designed for the Grand 2 and gives you continuous sensors, half damping and pedal noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the standard keyboard stand fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AMS-NSCL KB Stand EX fits the Grand.
