In 1995 the world's first Virtual Analog synthesizer, Nord Lead was introduced. One year later co-owner Magnus Kjellander joined the company and played an essential role in developing the revolutionary Nord Modular that was released in 1997. The modern classic Nord Electro was released in 2001 combining classic vintage electro-mechanical instruments of the 60's and 70's with unprecedented portability. Introduced in 2005, the Nord Stage combined all Nord's innovations in one powerful performance keyboard. Since then we have developed and expanded our product line with many award-winning instruments for the performing musician. We've come a long way from the little basement workshop we started out in back in 1983 a journey fueled by curiosity, persistence, dedication and love for music! HANDMADE IN SWEDEN The Nord factory is located in the heart of Stockholm with only a staircase between development and the production area. Each Nord instrument is assembled by hand and carefully quality tested before leaving our factory. The Nord Crew with the brand new Nord Grand fresh from the assembly line.
