Do You Want Advice Buying a Roland Digital Piano?...

Graham Howard ukpianos.co.uk editor"The most important thing you need from a digital piano when you're learning is a realistic touch.
A good piano sound and minimum of 4 dynamic levels (p, mp, mf and f) are also important.
Things like dimensions, weight, colour and 'bells and whistles' shouldn't really be the deciding
factor in your purchase",
Graham Howard, Piano Advisor.

Question of the month

Please can you explain the difference between RP101, RP101RW and RP101ERW
pianos?

Many thanks, Steph Carter

Reply/

Hi Steph

This is called 'Roland madness'. We are talking about the same piano here.

The Roland RP101 is also called RP101RW and RP101ERW.

The RW means rosewood. The E (I have no idea why this has been added). It's all very mind boggling... I wish manufacturers would just name their products simply like: RP101!

Yours pianistically,

Hi Graham,
 
Since you seem like a Roland expert, and no one can help me choose between the fp7-f and the DP-990 in the music stores in my home town, i was hoping you could give me some advice! I've always been playing a real piano but since I'm moving out I need a digital one. I'm aware that the fp-7f is officially a stage piano but it seems to have a lot of nice options. I like the Dp-990 cause it looks nice but I'm not sure if it has enough to offer. Can you tell me the main differences? Thanks!
 
Best regards,
 
Lizanne

Reply/ Hi Lizanne

THeir really isn't much difference in sound
or feel between the two pianos.

If anything, the DP990 (with its larger
cabinet) does have a slightly fuller,
more rounded sound). Although the DP990 and
FP7F have the same speaker wattage, the
larger cabinet and speaker enclosure does
alter the sound for the better.

So the deciding factor really is between
1) sound 2) looks 3) portability

Yours pianistically,

Graham Howard

Hi Graham,
 
I have read your books about the digital pianos. Now, I am focus on Roland F-120 and RP-301. I want to know what's the difference between the two. Could you give me some recommendation?
 
Thanks
cc

Reply/ Hi cc

The Roland F120 and RP301 are actually quite
similar pianos.

The RP301 has a clearer, more resonant sound.
This is mainly due to its larger cabinet and
speaker placement.

The RP301 also has ivory-feel keys. This is a
much smoother, silkier feel than the plastic
keys on the RP301.

Yours pianistically,

Graham Howard

I belong to a small church--building a new church--our pipe organ is
too expensive to fix and move--
We are going to look at a digital piano that can produce organ sounds---also
we have to pay an organist--to play our pipe organ-there are several piano
players in the congregation--so it all seems to be the reasonable thing to
do.
My neighbor plays a digital Roland that is about 10 years old---only had one
repair--and the sound fills her huge Catholic church beautifully
She is a piano teacher and music teacher and feels good about her Roland
A music store near says that Roland has too many repair problems of late.
Do you have a comment on that?
WE were thinking of a Roland in the KR 105 or 107 range.
 
Thanks for you help

Connie

Reply/ Hi Connie

The Roland is the most reliable piano at the moment.
 
From the recent reports I've been getting from digital
piano technicians the Roland digital pianos have the
lowest 'failure' rate out.

The Roland KR105 or KR107 would be both be excellent
choices for your church.

Yours pianistically,
Graham Howard

Hi Graham

Thanks for the buyers guide. I am interested in purchasing the Roland f110 or the dp990. I am a beginner but I want a good quality piano that I will never have to upgrade. Can you please let me know why the dp990 is so much more expensive than the f110 and is there a great difference in sound quality between the two. I am a bit of a novice so your advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Jen

Reply/ Hi Jen

The Roland DP990 has a nicer piano sound than
the F110. It is richer and fuller (less tinny).

The key touch is also more realistic on the
DP990. It's a little firmer and feels closer
to a real piano.

But... you are paying more for the escapement
feature on the DP990.

This features isn't neccessary. It doesn't
give you any extra benefit.

The DP990's cabinet is also superior. It is 
sturdier and looks a lot nicer.

Is it the worth the extra money?

Personally I wouldn't spend double the money
to get the DP990 anyway.

You can get nicer pianos for less money in
the Yamaha range.

Let me know if you'd like my recommendations.

Yours pianistically,

Graham Howard

"What's your opinion of the Roland SuperNatural HP range of pianos?"

Hi Graham

Firstly, thanks for your digital piano purchasing guide. Very informative and may have prevented me making at least one mistake!

Would you mind telling me what your opinion of the Roland SuperNatural HP range of pianos is? Is the sound as good as Roland would have us believe?

Thanks in advance, Peter.

Reply/ Hi Peter

Well, the Roland sound is good. There is no doubt.
I find it warmer than Yamaha and Kawai.

But it isn’t really ‘supernatural’. Maybe that’s a bit of
an overstatement -  a bit of marketing mumbo jumbo.

All digital pianos sound too tinny to me. They lack
resonance and sustain. They’re really just dead plastic
boxes (well, MDF with plastic veneer, to be precise)
full of circuit boards and cables.

Having said that, Roland pianos are the best
sounding digital pianos.

They’re sampled from a Steinway concert grand.
This is the main reason for their warmer tone
compared to bright sounding Yamahas and Kawais.

Let me know if you would like some recommendations.

Yours pianistically,

Graham Howard

Hi Graham,
 
I've been looking through your website, and it has a lot of useful information which has helped me in my search for a digital piano.  But I have one remaining question.
 
I have narrowed my search, on the basis of a number of factors, for a digital piano down to a Roland HP201, but I've just come across the Roland RP101.  I see there is quite a big price difference between them, but I can't seem to find what the real differences are.  Can you help?
 
Regards,
 
Susan Lennie

Reply/ Hi Susan

There is not a great difference between the RP101 and HP201.

There are a few more instrumental voices on the HP201, 128
polyphony instead of 64 polyphony (this is not really important)
and a slightly different cabinet design.

The sound and touch is better on the HP201. So if you can afford
to go for this, then it is a better choice. But also don't worry about
the sound and touch of the RP101 -- it is good enough for beginners
up to around grade 7.

Yours pianistically,
Graham Howard
UK Pianos

Further/ Hi Graham,

Thanks for your help, I've decided to go for the HP201, and placed an order through your recommendation of Thomann.  Sound and touch is important to me, but to be honest, so is the cabinet design.  I've been able to see the HP201 in a local shop, but the shop weren't very helpful with my other questions - instead, they just tried to persuade me to buy a Casio Privia - certainly not what I was looking for in cabinet design!.

I certainly benefitted from reading the questions and answers to other people.

Thank you.

Susan Lennie


Question/
Please could you advise me on the best quality portable digital pianos available.  The instrument must be portable for taking to concerts, and be of the best possible quality for use in CD recordings, and also have midi facility.  I have used the Roland FP5 on occasions, but wonder if there is anything with better quality sound available.  Please also advise on price and necessary extras to accompany each product.

Answer/
I recommend either the Roland RD300SX or RD700SX. They are both ideal for transporting to gigs and have everything you require.



I am looking forward to buy a stage piano. What would you recommend. It may be a some way off but I am looking a the FP7 or the CP300.
 
Thanks
 
Alfred

Reply/ Hi Alfred

The FP7 or the RD700SX would be my choice.

With the RD700SX you will need to buy a decent amplifier
such as the Roland KC150.

I prefer the sound of the RD700SX but the FP7 comes close behind
and has the added advantage of built-in speakers.

You can read more information about these models here:

I am wondering if you can help. I am a music therapists working in schools in Cambridge. we currently have a Roland EP760 which is excellent but are now missing the volume knob. Do you supply spare parts and if so how much would this knob cost. With thanks

Hi Kathryn. We don’t sell spare parts but you can get them from Roland UK.

Just give them a call on 01792 702701.
