Is the Nord Stage 3 88 worth $5,999?

If you gig often and want weighted keys plus organ and synth in one board, yes. If you mostly play piano at home, a cheaper stage piano covers that for far less.

How does it compare with the Stage 3 Compact?

The 88 has fully weighted hammer-action keys; the Compact has semi-weighted waterfall keys and is lighter. Choose the 88 for piano feel, the Compact for organ and portability.

Does it have built-in speakers?

No. You need an amp, PA or headphones through the headphone jack.

The keyboard, three pedals and an original bag, per this listing. The X-frame stand is listed separately as part of the bundle.

How heavy is it to move?

It weighs 19 kg (about 42 lb) and is 1287 mm wide, so plan on a case with wheels and a helper for stairs.

It is a premium board that rarely discounts deeply. Watch for bundle deals and open-box listings; the current best new price is $5,999 at Amazon as of November 4, 2026.
