My Nord keyboards bring something to the table that I don’t get anywhere else. Great sounding samples, easy navigation, no fuss when it comes to tweaking or putting together sounds from scratch. These lovey ladies in red push me to play, create and explore. They are a joy to use both in live and studio settings and I’d recommend them all day any day!
