DISC Nord Electro 2 61 Electric Piano

Full Description

Great tools are simple ones, and the Electro2 is a great tool for musicians. By focusing on just a few features, weve avoided spreading ourselves thin with unnecessary technological gadgets. Sometimes the best tool isnt a Swiss Army Knife. There are certain unique electric pianos that have been staples of music for decades, and they are more useful now than they ve ever been. These instruments are unique, and they have a soul all their own.

Remember that great organ sound from Procul Harums Whiter Shade of Pale? Or the soulful electric piano from Supertramps The Logical Song? What about the Clavinet from Stevie Wonders Superstition? These classic instruments have inspired generations of players and songwriters, and they continue to gain more and more admirers every day. Now all these instrument have one thing in common the Nord Electro2.
