All The Best Vintage Keyboards!
This 73-note keyboard delivers astounding reproductions of classic electromechanical keyboards. Back in the day, you needed a forklift to get the originals up on stage, but the Nord Electro lets you take those keyboards with you anywhere. The sounds themselves may be larger-than-life, but the Nord Electro is compact and portable, making it ideal for live performances. And behind the sounds - so authentic you'll turn a whiter shade of pale - the Nord Electro is packed with all the modern conveniences and features that you've come to expect from Clavia and the Nord keyboards.
There are essentially two sections in the Nord Electro, an organ section and an electric piano section. The organ in Nord Electro emulates the legendary B3 perfectly, while the piano section comprises four carefully multi-sampled electric piano instruments: Rhodes Mk II Stage Piano, Wurlitzer 200A, Clavinet D6 and CP-80 Electric Grand.
The Electro also sports a USB interface for quick and easy download of new piano sounds in the future.

 Fantastic Organ
by Gary from NY, April 05, 2007
“I have owned the Nord Electro 73 for about three months now, and couldn't be happier with it. Before buying it I tried out all the competitors. The organ sounds are full, complex and fantastic. Playing this instrument makes me feel truly empowered, and my bandmates also are amazed at how good this instrument sounds - it really adds depth to the overall band sound.

"If you're a "player" like I am, you'll LOVE this keyboard. The quality and realism of the classic keyboard sounds produced in the Electro is stunning. The Electro is designed for live-use with its hands-on design, but is just as much at home in the studio as well. About the only downside I've found to the Electro is that it is so much fun to play, it's hard to put it down and get work done."
