On November 3, 2026, Thomann had 70 models in our stage piano ranking. The category holds two kinds of instrument: portable pianos with built-in speakers for home and practice, and speakerless stage instruments for bands, with organ and synth sounds and quick sound changes. Nord only makes the second kind.
| Brand | Models | Price range | Median | In our top 10 | Best placed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nord | 9 | $2,466 to $4,795 | $3,700 | 1 | #7, Electro 7 HP |
| Yamaha | 6 | $369 to $2,617 | $638 | 4 | #4, P-45 |
| Korg | 7 | $353 to $2,242 | $560 | 1 | #6, B2+ |
| Roland | 9 | $446 to $3,409 | $1,390 | 4 | #1, FP-90X |
Our ranking weighs how much each model is bought and sold used on Reverb, how widely Thomann stocks it, its price, specs and maker. Nord's position suffers from one thing: six of its nine models are too new or too rare on the used market for us to match them.
Nord: only the stage, and the highest prices
Nord Electro 7 HP, $3,341
73 keys with Kawai's hammer action, three independent sections for piano, organ and synth, six split points and a set list mode for gigs. #7 of 71 stage pianos.
Nord's range runs from the Electro 7 61 at $2,466 to the Stage 4 88 at $4,795, with weighted keys, aftertouch and a piano, organ and synth section each. The red cases have become the standard look of a keyboard player on stage. Nord cut three prices since August, the biggest on the Piano 6 88, from €3,514 to €3,299.
Yamaha: four in the top ten
Yamaha CP88, $2,410
Yamaha's stage flagship, with an NW-GH3 wooden keyboard with synthetic ivory tops, seamless sound switching and a panel where every function has its own control. #9 of 71 stage pianos.
All four of Yamaha's top-ten places are home models with speakers: the P-45 at $369 (#4), the P-225 at $638 (#5), the P-S500 (#9) and the P-145 (#10). The stage instruments are the CP73 at $2,107 and the CP88. Yamaha hasn't changed a single stage piano price since August.
Korg: the cheapest way in
Korg Grandstage X, $2,242
88 keys, 700 sounds across seven engines from grand pianos to Vox organs, a Nutube vacuum tube stage, and a drum and bass rhythm track. #17 of 71 stage pianos.
Korg's speakered B2+ at $459 is #6. Its stage instruments cost well under Nord's: the Grandstage X at $2,242 and the SV-2 73 vintage piano at $1,793, cut from €1,666 to €1,599 since August.
Roland: the one missing from the title
Roland isn't usually named in this comparison, but it has four models in the top ten. The FP-90X, $2,067, is number one of 70, and the FP-10 at $446 is number two. On stage, Roland offers the RD-88 EX at $1,390, the RD-2000 EX at $2,668 and the V-Stage 76 at $3,037.
Which one?
| For a band, 88 keys | Price |
|---|---|
| Roland RD-88 EX | $1,390 |
| Korg Grandstage X | $2,242 |
| Yamaha CP88 | $2,617 |
| Roland RD-2000 EX | $2,668 |
| Nord Stage 4 88 | $4,795 |
A Nord Stage costs about twice a CP88 or a Grandstage, and the difference buys the organ and synth sections, the layout and the name. If you mostly play piano, a CP88 or a Grandstage X covers it for less. If you play organ and piano in the same set, the Nord Electro and Stage are built for exactly that.
Where the numbers come from. Every stage piano Thomann had in stock on November 3, 2026, from its partner feed, without bundles. Places are from our ranking of stage pianos, which counts each model once and lets tied models share a place. Used-market demand is the number of listings on Reverb for the matching model. Price changes are from our nightly records since August 17, 2026, in euros.
