Got a NS2EX compact 2nd hand but in prestine condition just few weeks ago. I used the Electro 6 but never happy with that different organ sound, being also an happy owner of Nord C2. The organ of the NS2ex is definitely closer to the C2 than the Electro. And the synth section is a blessing as well the two different slots with which you can drive 6 different parts. I would say that in 2024, with all the workstations by Roland, Yamaha and Korg offering more solutions, definitely the NS4 seems overpriced IMHO.
Really interesting video. My Nord Stage 2 Compact is still going strong (after 12 years!) and I keep putting off replacing it. Would love to get a Stage 4 but not sure I can justify the price. I often wonder if there’s any noticeable difference between the Stage 2 and 4 when it comes to sounds like pianos. Yamaha YC73 seems an obvious second choice, will be great to hear your experience of it.
@@dannycassidy9754 Thanks for your input Danny. I totally understand your position. I wouldn't switch just for the piano sounds if I were you, especially if your stage 2 is not giving you any hardware problems. I don't think I would have done if my stage hadn't started "playing up" with those knobs...
Very nice video and playing. Subscribed.
Excelent video!
I cann't play one note on a keyboard/piano however, I've always wanted a nord.

I had mine serviced last year. New key contacts and also fixed a broken pitch wheel. Hopefully I’ll get another few years out of it!
