Clavia Nord Piano 6 73
Nord Piano 6
The next level of the Stage Piano series
Barely a year after the acclaimed Nord Piano 5, Clavia raises the bar: The Nord Piano 6 is not just an evolution – it is an uncompromising combination of sound, touch and intuitive control.
More than an update:
Available in 88- or 73-key, it offers a first-class triple-sensor hammer-action keybed that captures every nuance of your playing – from delicate pianissimo to full forte. The new panel layout with LED faders provides maximum clarity and makes handling on stage or in the studio even more intuitive.
But that's just the beginning: with the dual-layer architecture for Piano and Synth you can effortlessly switch between the legendary Nord sounds or layer them – and do so with independent effects for each section. Whether Grand Piano, Upright, Electric Piano or Synth, the sounds are top-class and offer an expressiveness that's hard to match.
And of course Nord stays true to its recipe for success: flexible, portable, powerful. Thanks to its compact design you can take the Nord Piano 6 anywhere without sacrificing the legendary Nord sound.

Each layer is equipped with intuitive controls for Attack, Decay/Sustain, Release and dynamic velocity response, so you can shape sounds flexibly.
Additional features such as Unison (for thick, polyphonic sounds), Tru-Vibrato (the authentic vibrato of acoustic instruments) and Round-Robin (for natural variations on repeated notes) make the Sample Synth even more lively and realistic.

Clavia is a Swedish manufacturer of electronic musical instruments based in Stockholm, founded in 1983 by Hans Nordelius. After initially producing drum machines and e-drum kits, Clavia has focused on keyboard instruments since the release of the Nord Lead in 1995, such as stage pianos and synthesizers. Clavia instruments are appreciated not only for their sound quality but also for their solid build and long product support.
The Nord Lead and the Nord Wave are virtual-analogue synthesizers, the latter being sample-based. The Nord Stage is a stage piano that, in addition to a synthesizer section, also offers first-class emulations of well-known pianos, organs and other keyboard instruments such as the Hammond B3, Vox Continental, Fender Rhodes or Wurlitzer.
The Nord Electro is a stripped-down version of the Nord Stage that omits the synthesizer section. With the Nord Piano 5, Clavia brings a new stage piano to the market aimed particularly at pianists thanks to its remarkably realistic keyboard. The Clavia Nord stage pianos are available with 73, 76 or 88 keys. Thanks to the Nord Sound Library, the sounds on all current Nord instruments can be exchanged freely and free of charge. At session you'll find various Clavia instruments and matching accessories such as stands for digital pianos, music stands, pedals for keyboard instruments and bags and cases for keyboard instruments.
