Hello everyone.
Is the Nautilus (88 key) ALL metal...?
I mean all the parts that should be...
Some people have said that is is all metal...
Some have said that the top is plastic...
And then some have said that the top is metal also - but the plate around the joystick is plastic...
The 88 Key version of the Nautilus actually weighs more than the 88 key version of the Kronos 3 - so...
Thanks!

Hi G,
I have the Nautilus 88 and absolutely love it. Built like a tank, it has wooden end cheeks. A very solid (assume it is brushed aluminum) top fascia. the underneath is either wooden or thick MDF. The front of the keyboard is also brushed aluminum. The keybed is RH3 which is used on a lot of Korg's digital pianos. I had an SP250 which is also the same RH3 action. This action has not changed for quite a few years, and I can understand why.
What is the point of changing something that works well. You are correct about the joystick, it is plastic but feels really solid. The Nautilus is made in Japan, and the build quality is exceptional.
