It’s a genuinely inspiring instrument that offers the best of both acoustic and digital worlds, ideal for pianists looking to take their playing further.

This offer is available on purchases made between 27th March and 30th June 2026, and the discounted price is applied automatically.

The Nord Electro 7 range is now available from Bonners Music in the UK, and it’s a big step forward for one of the most popular stage keyboards ever made. We’re offering excellent trade-in values if you’re upgrading from your current keyboard.

https://www.bonnersmusic.co.uk/blogs/news

The Electro 7 is available in three versions: 61 and 73-note waterfall models, plus the Electro 7 HP with a new lightweight hammer-action keybed developed by Japanese piano maker Kawai.

The organ section is taken directly from the Nord Organ 3 and includes the superb new rotary speaker emulation with multiple mic positions, along with physical drawbars on all models. The piano section supports the Nord Piano Library, and the synth section has been massively expanded with sample, analogue and FM synthesis plus far more hands-on control from the front panel.

Each section now has its own dedicated effects, with global reverb and per-layer send, plus new spring reverb and new amp models. There’s also the very welcome return of Song Mode, which lets you organise sounds into setlists for instant recall on stage and re-order them without altering your original programmes. It’s a feature many Nord users have been asking for, and one that even Stage 4 owners might be a little jealous of.

The Electro 7 is also compatible with Nord’s latest Clavinet samples with key-off noise for even more realism.

All in all, we think the Electro 7 is going to become the go-to stage keyboard for a huge number of players who want world-class organ and piano sounds without the extra complexity of the Stage series.

Our in-depth video demo is coming very soon, but in the meantime you can click the link to find out more about the Electro 7 and register for a free trade-in valuation of your current keyboard.

We can't wait for this!

Newcastle Piano Festival is returning 🎹

We’re really excited to be bringing back the first (and only) piano festival in Newcastle. Across the weekend, you’ll find headline concerts alongside free events, interactive family shows, and the chance to hear new voices, all designed to feel welcoming and easy to step into.

We can’t wait to open the doors and welcome people back. Layla’s Kitchen will be with us all weekend. There’ll be a bar each evening, and on Friday and Saturday, you can arrive early for free cocktail piano performances at our pre-concert drinks receptions.

This year, a significant part of the festival focuses on young people supporting young people, through our mentorship programme, I Love Piano schools outreach, and by championing brilliant young artists like Mia Odeleye.

We’re counting down the days and really looking forward to sharing it with you.

Great to see Tony - owner of Bonners Music, meeting Kentaro Kawai, President of Kawai Musical Instruments and a member of the legendary Kawai family, at the world-famous NAMM Show in California.

It’s always a pleasure spending time with the people behind such an iconic piano brand. Kawai’s heritage, quality and attention to detail are exactly why we’re so proud to work with them.

We've had a fantastic and inspiring trip out in California - selecting new brands and products to bring to our stores over the coming year.

A brilliant initiative from a school with a strong musical tradition.
