Our take on the Nord Stage 3 88

The Nord Stage 3 88 is a flagship stage piano with 88 fully weighted hammer-action keys, three included pedals and a red wooden body. It combines Nord's piano, organ and synth engines in one board, with 34-voice synth polyphony and four velocity curves. At $5,999 at Amazon as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent range; four stores list it new, so compare before buying.

Questions and answers

Is the Nord Stage 3 88 worth it?
If you need piano, organ and synth in one weighted 88-key board for gigging, it is one of the most complete stage pianos. If you mostly play piano at home, cheaper slabs cover that for far less.
How does it compare with the Stage 3 76 or Compact?
The 88 has fully weighted hammer-action keys; the 76 and Compact use lighter, semi-weighted actions. Choose the 88 for piano feel, the others for portability and organ-style playing.
Does it have built-in speakers?
No. You need an amp, PA or headphones through the headphone jack.
What is in the box?
The keyboard, three pedals and an original bag are listed. Check the store listing for the exact bundle, since the X-frame stand is sold separately by Gear4music.
When is the best time to buy?
At $5,999 at Amazon as of November 4, 2026, it is at the top of its recent range. Watch for bundle deals or holiday sales, and compare all four stores before buying.
