Nord is a well-known brand in the musical instrument industry, especially for its high-quality synthesizers and keyboards. Founded in 1983 by Hans Nordelius, the Swedish company, officially known as Clavia, gained widespread recognition for its innovative and reliable equipment. Among their most iconic products are the Nord Lead and Nord Wave synthesizers. The Nord Lead series helped popularise virtual analogue synthesis in the 1990s, becoming a staple for musicians seeking a classic analogue feel with modern digital flexibility. On the other hand, the Nord Wave synthesizers offer a unique combination of analogue-modelled synthesis and sample playback capabilities, allowing users to create and manipulate sounds in versatile and expressive ways.

Both the Nord Lead and Nord Wave have established themselves as go-to instruments for professionals looking for rich, dynamic sound quality and intuitive control. The Nord Lead is particularly praised for its powerful filters and punchy sound, ideal for everything from leads to evolving pads. Meanwhile, the Nord Wave stands out with its ability to load user samples and blend them with synthesised sounds, giving musicians immense creative freedom. With their distinctive red design, sturdy build, and hands-on interface, these Nord synthesizers continue to be a favourite among live performers and studio producers worldwide.

Pedal

A pedal, in the context of music, refers to a device that modifies the sound of an instrument, typically electric guitar or keyboards, by altering audio signals as they pass through it. Pedals can serve a variety of functions, including effects like distortion, reverb, delay, modulation, and compression. They are commonly used by musicians to enhance their sound, create unique audio textures, or achieve specific sonic qualities that would be difficult to produce with the instrument alone. Pedals are often housed in sturdy enclosures with footswitches that allow musicians to engage or disengage effects during performance easily.

Pedals can be analogue or digital, with each type offering different characteristics and qualities. Analog pedals, for example, often provide warm and rich tonalities due to their continuous signal processing, while digital pedals can emulate a wide range of effects and often include more advanced features, such as presets and programmable settings. Many musicians use multiple pedals in a “pedalboard” setup, connecting them in series to create complex soundscapes. With their versatility and ability to transform an instrument’s tone, pedals have become essential tools for performers and composers across various genres, from rock and jazz to electronic and ambient music.

Pianos and Keyboards

From expressive stage pianos to versatile MIDI controllers and classic electric keyboards, this category brings together everything you need to play, perform, and produce. Whether you’re after the weighted feel of hammer-action keys, the vintage charm of a Rhodes-style sound, or a compact keyboard to control your synth rig, you’ll find something here to suit your playing style. Ideal for both studio work and live performance, these instruments offer tactile connection and musical freedom across genres — from ambient textures to punchy techno stabs and everything in between.

Second Hand

Buying used synths or audio gear can be a great way to get high-quality equipment at a lower price. Many synthesizers, drum machines, and studio gear are built to last, meaning you can find well-maintained, fully functional gear for a fraction of the cost of new models. This is especially beneficial for vintage or discontinued synths, which often have unique character and sound that newer digital recreations can’t fully replicate. Additionally, used gear tends to hold its value well, so if you ever decide to sell, you’re less likely to take a big loss.

Another reason to buy used is access to classic and rare equipment. Many legendary synths—like the Roland Juno series, Korg MS-20, or Moog Model D—are no longer in production, making the second-hand market the only way to get them. Some older gear also has analog warmth and hands-on controls that many musicians prefer over modern digital interfaces. While buying used does come with some risks, like potential wear and tear, careful shopping from trusted sellers, music forums, or local stores can help you find great deals on reliable, high-quality gear.
