NORD ELECTRO 3 HP

The current Electro3 61 and 73 are waterfall (organ) actions and Nord thought it was a good idea to make a 73 Hammer Piano, or hammer action version.

Naturally, the new Nord Electro 3 HP includes all of the award-winning features of the original Nord Electro 3, like the compatibility with our acclaimed Nord Piano and Nord Sample Libraries including the exclusively licensed Mellotron and Chamberlin sounds, the tonewheel and transistor modeling of the Nord C1 organ and Rotary speaker simulation.

With four Dynamic Curves, there’s a keyboard response for every personal style, and the new selectable Long Release adds a nice touch when playing legato parts.
Due to popular demand, we’ve added a flexible new Delay Effect with tap-tempo, rate, amount and a stereo Ping-Pong mode.
The number of Live Locations has been increased from one to four, giving you greater freedom to experiment with new sounds and settings on the go that are automatically saved. Program access is now much easier, requiring fewer buttons to push to find specific programs.
Where the original Electro 3 perhaps can be seen as a great organ with additional piano sounds, the new Electro 3 HP gives acoustic and electric piano lovers a brilliant new keyboard that even works great for organ playing styles.
The Nord Electro 3 HP weighs only 11 kg (24.25lbs) and includes mounts for the height-adjustable Keyboard Stand EX (optional accessory) and the Music Stand EX (optional accessory). Dimensions: 1078x121x344 mm (42.4x4.8x13.5").
Control Pedal compatibility includes: Yamaha FC7, Roland EV-5/7, Korg EXP2/XVP10 and Fatar VP-25.
The Nord Electro 3 HP is handmade in Stockholm, Sweden by Clavia DMI

EVH® Introduces Wolfgang® USA Custom and Stealth Guitars

EVH is proud to introduce two new Wolfgang guitar models, the Wolfgang USA Custom and the Wolfgang Stealth. Both are distinctive variations on the hugely successful original model, the U.S.-made EVH Wolfgang guitar designed by Eddie Van Halen.

Perhaps the most uniquely elegant instrument in the Wolfgang series, the Wolfgang USA Custom represents Eddie Van Halen’s personal tribute to the short-scale set-neck guitars of the late 1950s, combined with the distinctive modern personal touches he prefers on his own guitars. These two elements culminate in a truly magnificent tone machine embodying the best of yesterday and today.

The guitar’s mahogany body has a ½” arched maple top and seven-ply binding, a bound mahogany set neck with dual graphite reinforcement rods, and a 24.75” scale length. Features include a compound radius (12”-16”) ebony or rosewood fingerboard, 22 vintage stainless steel frets, seven-ply headstock and body binding, mother-of-pearl headstock logo inlay on ebony, dual EVH Wolfgang Custom nickel-covered humbucking pickups with three-position switching, stop-tail bridge with fine tuners, EVH custom tuners, dual EVH custom low-friction 500k volume pots, dual EVH custom high-friction 250k tone pots and an EVH molded-stripe case by SKB^®. Available in Black, White and Vintage Cherry Burst.

In designing an especially sleek all-black addition to the Wolfgang series, Eddie Van Halen decided to try something he previously wasn’t known to prefer—an ebony fingerboard. He liked it so much that the resulting guitar—the Wolfgang Stealth—now resides at the very forefront of his arsenal.

Features include an arch-top basswood body, quartersawn maple neck with dual graphite reinforcement rods, compound radius (12”-16”) ebony fingerboard with 22 vintage stainless steel frets, dual hard-mounted EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickups with three-position switching, dual Bourns^® low- (volume) and high-friction (tone) potentiometers, EVH-branded Floyd Rose^® locking tremolo with EVH D-Tuna^®, black hardware, EVH-branded 14-1 Gotoh^® chrome tuners with pearloid buttons, Schaller^® chrome string retainer and EVH molded-stripe case by SKB^®. Available in Stealth Black.
