this is about 2 years old, the very original nord stage 88. over these 2 years it has grown on me more and more each year and i still love this keyboard. why am i selling then? simply to be able to afford to upgrade to the new nord stage 88 2 this is a brilliant keyboard in so many ways but i am guessing you will know more or less what you are buying anyway if you are looking. interested email me at benxpd@aol.com
