Are they the same?

Post by ronwarren57 »

I've preordered my first Nord (Grand 2) and am excited for it to arrive. Question: Is the Kawai keyboard action on the Grand 2 the same as the keyboard action on the Kawai MP11SE? I read many positive reviews on the MP11SE's action. Just curious since they are both Kawai. Thanks.

No, the MP11(SE) has long and wooden keys (some "Grand Feel" type) whereas the Nord Grands have plastic keys (keybed based on the RH3 action).
Clavia really should have put the wooden keybed into the Grand in order to get the most piano-like feeling (but increasing the weight).
