The logistics of the production line is like a carefully
crafted piece of art. Months ahead the crew knows
exactly what products will be assembled and
shipped on e.g a particular Tuesday. Furthermore
they also could tell you what was delivered
18 months ago!
Our Quality Control starts at the very first produc-
tion station. As soon as two parts are assembled
together, they are given an identity, which will follow
this particular instrument for all of its life. Everything
we need to know about a certain unit is entered
automatically into a database. This ensures that we
can track down any issue that presents itself during
the lifespan of any given product.
Each and every unit is thoroughly tested before
it is shipped out to our worldwide distribution
network. The heat test that we run for 48 hours will
invariably reveal if there’s any internal component
not performing as expected. Every key, knob and
button is then operated several times in our custom
made Quality Control testing rigs before a unit is
considered ready to ship.
The Nord keyboards are assembled by hand by a
very dedicated and skilful crew. There are many
smiles and happy faces at the factory in a relaxed
but focused atmosphere. Most of our staff are
active musicians. We definitely do have a stellar
material for a great company band. But we would
have to rent the drum kit.

A front panel meets a circuit board, it’s
