Hi all,
I'm in the market for a keyboard and I'd like to hear your advice since I'm a guitarist and I'm not so updated about what's going on in the keyboards world.

My need is something simple, high quality, with good pianos and Hammond, plus pads, choirs, 80's synths, that kind of things.

My genre is classic rock but also think Arcade Fire as reference.

Budget, let's say $1500.
I was thinking about an used Clavia Nord Electro 3 - 61 keys I could get for around $1300.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Since you used the word simple and wanted specific sounds that the keyboard is strong in, plus you are a guitarist, I think te NE3 would be a good choice. The only downside is that it is monotimbral, meaning you can't layer sounds, so you can only play one sound at a time. Example, you can't layer strings with the piano, it's either strings or it's piano, but not both at the same time (aka multitimbral).
