Clavia have announced the upcoming launch of the Nord Grand 2, a new stage piano that promises to deliver the responsive feel of an acoustic grand piano thanks to the latest generation of Kawai’s premium triple-sensor Hammer Action keybed. The onboard sounds have also been upgraded from those present in the original Grand, with the new instrument equipped with dual piano and synth layers along with a versatile collection of per-layer effects

The Grand 2 will be available in May 2024, priced at £3599 including VAT.

Here’s hoping for the Electro 7.

So, this is big news in a way as Nord has typically used FATAR (Studiologic) keybeds. Having moved to Kawai, you have more of the legendary VPC-1 type of keybed and from the looks of it and even improved version of that, so this will be interesting indeed.

Their first Nord Grand also had a Kawai action IIRC.

Some newer tech trickling in from the Nord Stage 4 (aside from the key-bed)

Actually it only has Responsive Hammer plastic key action (not sure which version), VPC-1 has  RM3II wooden key action. It's clearly visible in the teaser video, as the sides of the keys are white.
