Thank you, Vee. Appreciate taking the time to provide your feedback.

Hi Rexsplace, The first thing I'd check is the size of the sample that your WhiteGrand is downloaded in your piano library memory. There's another video where I explained how I manage that and which Grand Pianos samples I choose in XL size. Secondly, make sure the output you use is the L&R channels rather than headphones. Equally, check the conditions are the same, i.e. are you listening to my videos on high resolutions speakers or headphones while your piano listen to monitor speakers? Once you've gone through all the above, only then you can deduct if something doesn't add up.

Thank you, Rhafael.

Hi Jason, Indeed, that's something worth assessing as except for the keybed, I struggle to see any real reasons to upgrade from NP5 to NP6. Asa I get to play NP6, I will update you.

Hi Carl, As a pianist, I rarely use the organ and if needed, it's there as well on NP, however, with less customisation available. Obviously the versatility and creating unique sounds capability of Nord Stage is clearly few classes higher to Nord Piano series when it comes to pads/synth section. I've been playing a Nord Stage EX and although the customisation is admirable, for me, I found myself ending up back to piano sound selection as main layer with subtle pads on top of it. In this case, I decided to go for the Nord Piano series. The question for me was the Grand an option vs Nord Piano and due to size and weight limitation as I have a small living room, I had to go with the Nord Piano. I still believe it was the wiser choice between the two after more than couple of Ys.

@ One day I wish I could say I was a pianist but as of now I’m still on a seemingly life-long journey of self tuition, inching forward weekly 😂 I too had the Nord Stage 2 EX 88 eventuality letting it go (great resale value) & making up the relative small difference at the time to my current NS3. Do I need a Stage? Absolutely not 😂 and certainly YES 😜 as it wants to make me play daily if that makes sense. I’ve put off moving to the NS4 for a year already - the P6 comes at an interesting time (along with many of the differences between the NS3 and NS4). It’s good to hear you’re happy with your NP 👍🏻

@@carlgrainger2669 Some good and pertinent points made in there, Carl. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you the best in your piano learning journey and hope you will find Pianord community a catalist and support on that journey.

Hi Michael, I'm with you. If I wouldn't have bought mine while ago, that's what I'd have gone for. Wait for NP5 to drop in price, once NP6 is available.

Hi Ciris, you're correct. Tripple pedal 1 on NP5 does have half damper. I have no details on any additional benefits of TP2 on a Grand Piano sample. When I find out, I'll make sure to share that in an upcoming video.

Hi Rainer, I'm happy for you. I think you'll love it. Please share how you find and what you like about it the most after few weeks playing on it on any of my videos.

Thank you, Rainer. I'm glad you loved the example I chose to showcase the grandpianos in this video. Welcome to the community and if you found it informative, feel free to follow and like the videos that are relevant to you.

Thank you Andy for the kind and encouraging words. Appreciate taking the time to share your thoughts.

Thank you for the kind words, Anthony. Welcome to the pianophonics community. I'm glad you found the videos insightful. Thanks for sharing what is you'd find useful for future videos content. I have been through some tough times for the last 4 months, however, we are over it, therefore, I hope to resume the work on the channel soon over the weekends and more content to arrive. Keep this space and feel free to comment, like and promote any videos that you found insightful to your network.

​@@grandpianord Will do I going to check over your other nord5 videos to see what i can learn I want be able to get the best out of this fine instrument

Hi Stan Now that I have been playing the nord about a week To overcome the keyboard isssue when playing octacaves I find if i press the keys at the very botttom of the keys It doesnt scratch

@@antonydouglas8023 Thank you for sharing your findings Anthony. That's what this community and channel is all about it: helping others and give something back to the community. Appreciate it.

Thank you, Grigorgeo for taking time to share about your experience with Nord. Please, do take time to share more once you get to play it more. Looking forward to hearing it.

Thank you, Joseph.

Hi Paolo, indeed, it's "You Deserve the Glory".

Yep sorry!!! You deserve…

@@PaoloAmodeomusic no worries at all Paolo. It's great to have you joining the community. Have a great weekend,

Welcome Irene.

Hi Delanobersan, All the headphones I've used in the video I had them for a very long time some over 15Ys (like the Grado one) and that was enough time for me to be able to give an accurate feedback on them. All these headphones I bought them myself and as best practice I do Not recommend something until I've owned it myself for enough time to provide as objective feedback as possible to others. I didn't buy AKG K271, therefore, since I didn't test it, I cannot comment on how it sounds compared to K371 or the others. Will leave that decision to you. If you decide to buy the K371, feel free to use the link in the video describtion when ordering it, should you want to support the channel. Thank you,

@@grandpianord thx so much

Hi Pordermart, I'm assuming you're asking about the monitors I use. This question came up quiet frequently from other followers as well. Please, keep an eye on the channel as I'm going to create a video on that very topic since it's on a high demand from you/the community.

Thank you, Sergio for your kind words. Appreciate it.

Hi Joshua, Yes, the EQ settings are saved/captured when you save it to a program.

Thank you, Bernadette for your feedback and encouraging words.

Hi Rexsplace, I will create a video on my thoughts on which speakers to use. I'm unsure what you meant by your sound is better than mine. It cannot be much difference unless you are using the small version of the soft grand sample. I'm using Large version.

Hi Rexsplace, I only increase the trebbles a touch for Soft Grand sample. Here's a video I put together where I explain how I use the Grand Piano samples kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqXMooF5rs6djLc

Hi Rexsplace, I think you are the third person asking about what speakers I use. Since this is a request from my followers, I'll do a video on that, however, number one usecase I bought them for was something else than the piano playing. I'm using headphones when practicing. There is a video I've put together explaining why I chose the headphones. I'm using these headphones amzn.to/3VhVTRp

Thank you, Germansheperdlover. I'm with you. White Grand is at the top of my list as well.

Hi Themusicalchannel, thank you for your feedback. That's appreciated. Providing you subscribed, I'm looking forward to see your thoughts from other videos I've put together.

Thank you, Michael. Appreciate it.

Thank you for your feedback Alan.

Hi, don't really know what you had in mind when you shared the fire. It would be great if you could expand on your feedbak. Thanks,

Hi Relaxation, I must admit the feeling of the Roland RD-2000 is better at touch than NP5 when I played it. Indeed, I think it's great for everyone since it makes better products and more options available for buyers.

Thank you for your reply Stan and also what a great video you created as well.

@@ajotech Thank you.

Thank you kindly! Andy.

Thank you!

Indeed, Nord Grand 2 might strike the right balance. Stay tuned as this is something on the roadmap in terms of content for the channel.

Hi Reltius, That's such a great and relevant feedback you've shared. Thank you for taking time to do that as it provides more data and helps other musicians who follow the channel and will read the comments. Appreciate it. Indeed, I'm curious on how Nord Grand 2 action is going to feel. I'm still to play Nord Grand 2 - asa I get to do that, I'll make some notes and put something together to share with the channel.

Hi Joshua, indeed. Spot on - re: song choice.

Thank you, Jonathan. I believe I've shared how I configure the touch settings in a different video comments. In general is in Medium and that was the setting for this video as well. Can I ask back why does it matter or what was that you had in mind that would require to know the setting for the touch? Thanks,

@@grandpianord I always see your soft touch, and I try to do it with the same touch that I see in your videos, and I couldn't achieve the same dynamic. I come from Yamaha CP1, and I had gotten used to that touch, in Nord I have to make a little more effort. I normally play on HEAVY, to be able to better control the softer nuances of the performance. But when I need to get more Fortissimo, it's already a bit difficult for me, and I feel like I'm mistreating the keys. I feel more comfortable in MEDIUM generally, because I feel like I don't abuse the keyboard much, but for the softer nuances, I feel like I can't control them much either. That's why my question was in another video about the Rev B with DYN COMP, if it would have a lot of influence in this aspect.

@@JanoStudios I'm with you Jonathan and I agree that Heavy allows to go softer but it requires much more strength to get the forte (or even more for ff). Probably, the Medium should've been between Heavy and what Medium is now. Another thing that you won't get on a stage piano, at least I can confirm it isn't on Nord Piano 5 (I'm still to test it on the Nord Grand 2) is NP5's action ability to do a 'drop roll'. Play it on an accoustic grand you will see the difference in the sound. Play it on NP5, there's no difference. I've played a Yamaha (hybrid, not the stage piano) and they've got it in there.

Thank you, Armen. :)

Hi Larry, That really made my day since that's the purpose of these videos to inspire and lift other people up. Thanks for taking time to share that.

Hi Rob, Appreciate your comment - thank you. I'm glad to know you've found it useful. It's on my to do list to create a video with some weekly exercises for piano that focuses on making your/the pianist's fingers stronger and in control of the piano.

@@grandpianord thanks Stan.....exercises yes, but also the runs too please?

@@pobbob335Hi Rob, what I played in these 3 x songs were mainly arpeggios and it will be part of that exercise. Runs are scalar passages, and therefore they tend to move by step, however, I think you made a great point and I should look into some runs to introduce and also share with the community. Thanks for the idea.
