I wanted a portable Hammond organ to use around town, and so my first Nord keyboard was the Electro 3. After using it once, I was hooked. My rigs have since expanded to include the Stage 2 and the Electro 4D. I love how customizable Nord keyboards are; literally every knob, every tweak I need to make is right in front of me and easily accessible. They sound great and are incredibly compact, efficient and versatile. No matter what gig I am playing, I now make sure to always have a Nord keyboard with me.
