I was never a reallllly big fan of the origional Nordiska... but all in
all it was a decent enough sounding and playing instrument... its fatal
flaw being an horrible case of weather sickness. But it pains me to see
the name being used on the pianos produced now. I have never liked
that practice. When a company goes broke... then it does.. and somebody
else going in, buying up everything and moving to Timbucktoo to get the
local species to plask together something that looks the same and then
calling it the same is not exactly my idea of an accurate representation
of the true picture.
<p>It is said that pianos dont have soul by some.... well.... thats only
partly true.

I've serviced several Nordiskas. The first pianos that were imported were
pretty poor quality. However, the most recent pianos I've seen are much
improved and are a fair value for the money. However, I consider this a
poor choice for an institutional setting. While they have improved, this
is not a good high mileage instrument. You can expect a lot more problems
than with the Kawai. Even though the price difference is substantial, the
Kawai is a slam dunk.</font></font>
