But how am I supposed to know what an instrument sounds like if you don't first tell me your life story, what you had for breakfast, the background of the keyboard company, how electricity works, and the complete history of music?
I just drove to Nashville to try one of these. Someone had layered 2 sounds together. I was so overwhelmed by all the knobs that I couldn't figure out how to turn off the layers. It felt like a 747 cockpit to me. I finally got it right until I accidentally hit one of the buttons while playing... I had no idea how to get it back. Whereas the korg stage grand is probably the easiest to navigate piano Ive ever played. I wish the Nord was as easy, because you've proven the tones are fabulous in this thing.
Thanks for your comment! 🙏 Just give the instrument some time, and you will be able to navigate it almost in your sleep:) It's really a fantastic instrument, I've owned it now for four years.
Simon, a great demo. I really like how you haven't wasted any time with talk etc.. Your playing and the instrument speak for themselves. I wish more demos on RUclips were as good as this. You did your prep and edited well. Thank you
He visto muchos demo de este nord grand y solo este muestra realmente lo que uno quiere ver la muestra de los sonidos o preset excelente video demostrativo 😁👍
Thanks for this: I have had my NORD Grand since December 2021, and in addition to presets it's blowing my mind how many combinations of sounds I can get, and slit sounds, play with the equalizer and effects~but this basic demo is EXCELLENT!
Mate I have watched this video so many times. I go to my local shop to play this whenever I have the chance, such an amazing keyboard. When I graduate and get a proper job this is the thing I'm saving for. Great stuff.
@@simonwestmanmusic Thought you might like to know I finally put in my order for my Nord Grand. Only 3 years later! Any recommendations on speakers/headphones? 👍
so lovely to listen to... was just curious about the presets, forgot about them, so great music. That´s an istrument, when you can forget about the tecnique and you just enjoy the music.
Such a relief to find a guy who actually can play. Looking all kind of demos on different stagepianos - and most presentators play horrible; no feeling for the sound, they don't listen. They should hire you. For example: I didn't find a good demo of the Yamaha cp88 yet.
Hey man, thanks a million or your kind words! I actually own a Yamaha CP73....will make a demo as soon as I have some time, hope you'll like that too:)
@@simonwestmanmusic I just tested in a shop the Cp73 today and although the keys are too lightweighted to me, I got faster and deeper connected to it than to the Nord piano 3. The Nord grand has Kawai keys, right? Also with the Kawai-specific lack of the possibility of fast repetitions?
Thanks again Simon for such a transformational presentation. Loved your playing of "In Her Family" by Metheny. God, to think that's on 1 page in it's entirety. (A55 UpRight) So I have had my NG about 3 weeks now.( I am also enjoying the NORD speakers with a small SUB) I am wondering if it might be possible to trigger the " internal NORD layer or 2nd sound " from a 25 note controller while having a primary sound on the NORD GRAND.) Such as White Sample or Rhodes etc. The accordian and harmonica in particular are very distinctive. Great contribution Simon!
Hi Ken, thanks for your comment! Yes a lot of the samples are really distinct and very useful. Don't know if its possible to connect a second midi controller, but I will definitely try to find out. I do it a lot with my Korg Kronos and that works just fine. I'll be back, all the best!
The mellow upright is incredibile.The reason why I would buy a Nord are the uprights.And the up close as well.If they could be layered now ..THAT would be a unique piano sound.
Love the demo, beautiful playing! This video tipped my decision to go out there and get a Nord Grand. What's the first song (A42 Mellow Upright), and the one you played with A13 Nefertiti?
Nice playing, I think you show a very good performance with the Nord Grand. How about working with it in studio, which sequencer/DAW do you prefer for recording? Or can it record also?
Hi! Thanks for your comment, it's really good for homestudio. For audio-recording I have an Audio interface (Scarlett 2in4) and then directly into the computer and Logic X. For midi-recording I have the Nord Grand connected to my computer through a USB-cabvle. I use Ravenscroft among others vst:s. It cannot record itself unfortunately.
The Mellotron Flutes were nice. The Blues Harp sounded like something my old DX7 had programmed in. I would have liked to have heard some more popular organ sounds: e.g. B3, Farfisa, Vox Continental, etc.
Came for the demo and stayed for the playing - super content and playing👍🏻👍🏻 subscribed immediately of course😁What is the song right before 2:00? Its on the tip of my tongue but can’t say it 🙈
Hey ! Great playing there bud! Got a question for ya How's the keybed? Been trying to find comments on how it feels but no luck so far. I'm familiar with the nord sounds (got a Stage 3 compact) but I'm really curious to know how the keys feel compared to a real piano. Do they feel sticky, springy, too heavy, fast or wtv?
Hi! The keybed is great. Though, a real piano is a real piano...but the Nord grand has a great feel and great sound. Its the combination of those two that makes it so nice to play, in my opinion.
Thanks for your effort and sharing ! Do this keyboard have a built-in rhythm box, as one can hear upon the last samples? In another one you seem having recorded the left hand chords, playing just with the right one. Is that so?
Hi! Thanks for your comment 🙏 The rhythm-section you hear is a couple of loops from Logic X in my computer, and I think I did pre-record some chords in another video and then played solo on top of that.
I was so looking forward to the Nord Grand's arrival in my city. For months I watched videos and saved my money. I was ready. I week ago I walked in to the music store, and it was like Christmas morning. There was a Nord Grand sitting out for all to see and touch. It was just as gorgeous in person as it was in all those You Tube videos. But then then I started to play. Instantly I was crushed with disappointment. The first thing I noticed was how hard the keys hit the keybed. There was very little in the way of a cushion. I tried to ignore it and played on, but my finger tips were actually starting to feel uncomfortable. And then there was the noise. Oh my gawd, the noise of the key action was way beyond any piano or keyboard I had ever heard. Even with my over-the-ear headphones on, the noise was too distracting for me to concentrate, let alone enjoy the sounds. One other distraction, for me at least, was the fact that I could see through the black and white keys into the bottom of the keybed. For some reason this made me feel uneasy, not sure why. Could this be normal, or was it something somebody missed when setting it up? I asked the very nice lady, (who puts up with all my visits) if she got the same impression I did. She was nice enough to sit down and try, but she just brushed it off as being new, and needed to be broken in. I countered, stating that all the other "new" pianos don't sound or feel that way. Anyway, the key-tops were beautiful. The look and feel of them was very exquisite indeed. The samples were also very beautiful. Sadly though, I walked out of the music store feeling as though a long love had dumped me. I'm really curious to know if you have experienced any of my concerns. I'm hoping that it was a shipping mistake, or some other anomaly. I just can't let this dream die. Thanks. And I enjoy your playing.
Hi! Thanks for your comment...I really feel for you...You're right about the noise, my wife complains about it when I practise at evenings... but I'm not disturbed by it, didnt really think about it until my wife complained:) Hope you'll find an instrument youre satisfied with.
The Kawai keybed does not have a good reputation for reliability. I was surprised that Nord selected it for the Grand Model. Maybe they needed a quick three sensor mechanism for marketing purposes. I notice a great deal of key wiggle and mechanical play on the keying--not for me. I'll stay with my older Stage II EX and Piano II 88 keyboard models.
Amazing playing, as always! What is the song you played at the very beginning? It seems familiar somehow, but at the same time I don't think I've ever heard it before. Thanks!
Hey great playing! Im looking into getting one myself but am overwhlemed by the differences in Nord pianos..Im looking for a great piano sound but also great EP sound for Neo-soul, rhodes style type of thing? How do you feel about the EP's and how it compares to other piano you might have played?
Very nice playing, Simon! Do you hear much noise from the key mechanism while you play? I've heard that the keys can be a bit noisy on this model. Great video!
Ross Campoli - Business Videos Hi! Sorry for late answer, and thanks for the comment! I hear some noise, but its ok. Not really much, and I really like the action of the NG.
Hi! Thanks so much 🙏🏽 The song is from the swedish composer Olle Adolphson and is named "Nu har jag fått den jag vill ha". Really beautiful song I think.
still just loving your playing. Would you say that the Nord Grand is your favorite digital keyboard yet? I am also a jazz pianist, and I am wondering if I get it if I could fake myself into thinking that its a real piano to be able to do professional level recordings on it (not a lot of great pianos in the studios in the northwest) Do you think you could track a trio record using this keyboard instead of a piano? Cheers, M
Mack Grout Hi! Thanks for your comment! Yes, the Nord Grand has definitely the best keybed I’ve played so far. If you give me an email-adress I could send a trio-recording (demo) with my trio to you. The mixing is not so good, but you’ll get an idea of the sound.
I answer to myself. The music reminded me of the style of E.S.T..and it is indeed "Esbjorn Svensson Trio" and the song is called "Goldwrap". In all it is superbly playing well and it is a beautiful tribute to E.S.T .
Comer Palon Comer Palon Hi! Thanks so much for your comment, and sorry for late answer. The song Goldwrap is really beautiful, just had to play it with that sound:)
Tjena! Tack tack, ja jag har haft den ett antal år nu och den funkar fortfarande fint. Har dock kommit åt knappar av misstag men det går att låsa knapparna så att de inte reagerar om man kommer åt dem.
I have a question, this nord have a heavy keys or its soft like nord stage or the sensation it's different?? Because I don't dont like the sensation of the nord stage because i felt its so soft and I'd rather the Casio sensation.
Thanks! it's acctually a Yamaha CP73, so the keys is lighter and the weight also, thats the reason why I bought it. To bring to gigs without breaking my back:) The pianosounds and the action is quite good on the yamaha, though I'm not sure I'll keep it...havent become friend with it yet...
Great demo playing, fantastic Grands and uprights but i always struggle with the Nord Rhodes samples. To me they all sound more like Nord than like real Rhodes... 🤔

"Ladies of the Canyon" on the Wurlitzer...Very hip. Also David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, and Pat Metheny...I love the sounds AND the song choices.
William Conqueror thank you so much! 😊
William Conqueror Pretty sure the Joni track he plays on the Wurlitzer is the utterly beautiful Barangrill from 'For The Roses'.
Wow, standup bass was legit
Thank you for paying tribute to Lyle
Mays!!
Your playing is superb. Could you post a video of you playing Belle all the way through. I’d love to learn your arrangement!
Thanks man! 🙏🏽😊 I'll try to do that soon. Glad you liked it!
Bluesette was fantastic. Can just hear Toots Thiemann's playing it.
Thanks mate!
This or the Kawai Mp11Se. However I got the Kawai VPC1 and i am statisfied with the action too. Great Playing!! Love it!!
Thanks! Unfortunately I've never played the Kawai mp11se or the VPC1...I'm sure they are great, but I really love the Nord Grand.
If you want an acoustic buy one instead search a digital wich seems an acoustic.
Nice
The mellow upright is incredibile.The reason why I would buy a Nord are the uprights.And the up close as well.If they could be layered now ..THAT would be a unique piano sound.
nord could pay you for these ;) great content, thanks
Haha, thanks for saying that:) I'm just enjoying doing demos anyway.
In fact the hammer action turns the sounds of pianos more realistic and expressives.....Nord Clavia is very good sampling the sounds...
Hello, perfect démo !
But how about the sensations playing on this keyboard, compared to a Nord electro 6D ?
Simon,
Love your playing and presentation. Could you please let us know what kind of sound system set up you play through on a gig. Thanks.
Thanks a lot! When it comes to gigs, I play through the system of the arranger. Different every time....
Great video mate
Thanks mate!
Thanks for the demos. Was that Cherokee u played with the Up close grand ? I also noticed u snuck in Got a match from chic corea 😀😀
2:00 ”Got a Match”, 5:35 “Birdland”, 6:26 “Cherokee”, 7:20 “Spain”...
8:45 "In Her Family"
what was the first song he did?
2:58 "Who wants to live forever" Queen
Wishing I had one of these now! Also I have to ask, what was that tune you played for the Wurlitzer sound? Groooovy

I have two studiomonitors KRK5, just for listening. The recorded audio is through Focusrite Scarlett 2in4 and then into logic.
@@simonwestmanmusic Thank you very much for your reply. I'll definitely look into the KRK5. Still looking for my studiomonitors, not an easy job. Have a great day Simon!
@@simonwestmanmusic A QSC K10.2 or K12.2 monitor is magical with the Nord Grand imo.
Beware: this guy could make a Williams Allegro sound great...
That’s a bold compliment
great playing! what is the name of the first song?
Thanks! It's Belle from Beauty and the beast.
