Roland FP-10 | Compact 88-Note Digital Piano | SuperNATURAL Piano Tones | Authentic Acoustic Feel Keyboard | Great for Beginners & Experienced Players | Bluetooth & MIDI Connectivity

The best little big digital piano on this planet. I call it little because it is considered introductory, simple and not too expensive. It is all those things. But it is also the best of the best in those categories. I call it big because it is also so, much more. The sound, the feel, the look and convenience of this instrument is in a league of its own. I’ve had Yamaha P95 for a few years now and loved it. A couple of keys got un lived and I had to look for a replacement. I could not bear being without a piano, but this was not a good time to spend money on something I definitely did not need, but wanted quite a bit. I am not an avid player and I am still learning, but after getting this piano and trying it out, I am ready to commit and possibly even become a serious player. What a delightful and wonderful and fully capable (check out all the specs - they are great) musical instrument. Also I didn’t pay an arm and a leg for it and it will last me a long time. Now I am wondering if I should've bought the higher model (Roland FP-30X) which is exactly like this one, but more. I am so in love with this thing (the feel and the sound is so sweet) that as soon as I can, I will get the better model. AND keep this one. Yes, that is how amazing this piano is. I got it at a discount, but in perfect shape! Kudos to Amazon on a promise kept. OK gotta go. My Roland is calling me. It wants to be played. 😉 Yes, it does have that kind of pull on me.

I'm just starting to learn piano, but I grew up with acoustic pianos at home, so I know what they feel like and sound like. Does this feel like an acoustic piano? No, but it has the best action and feeling I've ever felt in a non-acoustic piano. Playing this feels simply amazing. It is an absolute joy on the fingers, no joke. I could play this for hours just because it feels good. It makes you want to keep playing it. Even though the action doesn't exactly feel like a real acoustic, it is still utterly spectacular, and the material of the keys is shockingly good. The material, like the action, is still not quite like a real acoustic, but once again the material is the best I've ever felt in a digital piano, by far. For the money, this is a shockingly good piano. I can't stress enough how good it feels to play, how good the material and action feels. I seriously didn't even know they made digital pianos that were this good. This feels extremely high quality, and is an absolute joy to play. For a beginner like me, I wouldn't want anything else. It blows me away despite not quite being exactly like a real acoustic. The built-in piano sounds are okay for a beginner piano, but nothing special. For me, that's not a concern because I'm using this primarily as a midi keyboard hooked up to my computer or to a midi synthesizer. With the built-in piano sounds, it does sound realistic at the high and low ends of the keyboard, but the middle sounds very mediocre. It also doesn't have the booming room filling kind of sound that a real acoustic has. It sounds like a digital piano. But if you're hooking this up to your computer or to a synthesizer, then it doesn't matter. If I had to make one suggestion for improvement, it would be to have just one digital piano sound, but make it simply incredible. Having said all that, I want to circle back to how good it feels to play. The material and action feel as close to an acoustic as anything I've ever felt in a digital piano. The action is simply a joy, I can't get over how good it feels. Don't go in to it expecting it to feel like an acoustic piano though, it doesn't quite feel like that. But it is the nicest feeling digital piano I've ever experienced in my life. As a digital piano, it is obscenely high quality feeling. It feels like a serious instrument. By the way, the keys are perfectly quiet, despite some rumors to the contrary. If you're using it as a midi keyboard like me, you'll absolutely adore it because the action is better than any other keyboard on the market at this price. As a digital piano, compared to other digital pianos, this is probably the nicest one on the market for this price. It just feels superb and extremely well made. It feels so good on my fingers that it makes me just want to keep playing. For use as a midi keyboard, this blows everything else out of the water. If you're an experienced musician, clearly you'll probably want to spend $2500 or more, but if you're beginner like me, look no further.

The soul requires sustenance even—and perhaps especially—when one is far afield in the Mobile Field Lab. To leave the nine-foot complexity of my Mason & Hamlin grand piano stationary at home was a necessity, but to live without a keyboard was untenable. The Roland FP-10 Digital Piano was acquired as the critical technological solution to this artistic and scientific void, promising portable fidelity and responsive action. This instrument has proven to be an exquisite synthesis of digital sound reproduction and mechanical simulation. The SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine delivers a rich, responsive tone that translates the massive acoustic resonance of a grand into the compact form of a digital signal. When subjecting the keyboard to the extreme rhythmic and dynamic demands of Chopin’s infamous "knuckle busters," the instrument reacts with satisfying velocity. The Science of Key Action: Gravity vs. Levers My experience confirms the crucial difference in key resistance: the feel is distinctly that of a fine upright piano, not a concert grand. This observation leads to a necessary lesson in acoustic piano physics. The difference lies entirely in the hammer return mechanism: **Grand Piano Action: The hammer assembly is oriented horizontally, lying under the strings. After striking, the hammer relies almost entirely on gravity to return quickly to its resting position. This requires the keys to have a stiffer, heavier touch to provide the mechanical leverage necessary to overcome the inertia of the hammer and lift it up to strike the strings. This resistance is often praised for its high degree of control and expressiveness. **Upright Piano Action: The hammer assembly is oriented vertically, standing in front of the strings. The hammer falls onto the strings (or strikes forward) and must be pulled back to rest by a system of levers and springs (the "bridle strap" mechanism). Because it uses assisted mechanical return rather than pure gravity, the keys often feel lighter or less stiff than a grand. The Roland FP-10's weighted keys successfully simulate the resistance of the mechanical action, but as expected, they lean toward the lighter, lever-assisted action of an upright rather than the heavier, gravity-dependent feel of a grand. This makes it highly playable and less taxing for extended practice. Ergonomics and Digital Utility While the core mechanics and sound processing are impeccable, the system is hampered by a single, minor ergonomic deficiency: the music desk. It is less sturdy and slightly undersized, failing to meet the load-bearing requirements for heavy scores. This is a simple mechanical failing in an otherwise technologically superb machine. However, the digital utility of the FP-10 compensates entirely. The Bluetooth MIDI connectivity integrates seamlessly with Smart Devices and DAW software, transforming the instrument into a data controller for advanced composition. The headphones output and quiet key action are also critical social features, allowing the pursuit of musical science at any hour without disturbing the delicate peace of the surrounding environment—a necessary feature when parked in a close-quarters situation. Despite the minor flaw in its music support apparatus, the Roland FP-10 is a brilliant piece of engineering, providing authentic acoustic simulation and total digital utility in a compact, field-ready package.

Estou impressionado com a qualidade desse piano. Suas teclas são realmente excepcionais em peso, textura e sensação. Elas simulam, de fato, as de um piano acústico. O timbre de piano também é belíssimo, especialmente se ouvido com um bom fone (vale a pena pesquisar bastante e investir em um, como o AKG K92). As caixas de som do piano são boas para estudo doméstico, mas sua projeção de som é limitada para se tocar em ambientes mais abertos e extensos. Aliás, essa limitação das caixas pode confundir a percepção que as pessoas têm do seu timbre em alguns ambientes mais barulhentos ou amplos. Vi alguns reviews na internet sugerindo que o timbre do FP-10 não se parece com o de um piano acústico, mas isso não é verdade. Trata-se de uma ilusão pelo fato de as caixas terem certa limitação e não serem projetadas para grandes públicos. Muitos outros músicos perceberam essa sutileza e fazem reviews positivos. Se você tocar em um ambiente fechado (como uma sala ou um quarto), não muito amplo (como um auditório ou shopping), em um volume confortável ou utilizando um bom fone de ouvido (o que considero a melhor experiência), é audível o quanto esse timbre é poderoso. Definitivamente, é um piano de altíssima qualidade para estudo. Não consigo imaginar uma opção melhor a essa faixa de preço (e olha que coloquei na mesma balança o FP-10 e o famigerado P125 da Yamaha, que aliás é mais caro). O FP-10 também reina como controlador MIDI. A sua conexão com o computador é rápida e veloz. Outro ponto positivo é o aplicativo Piano Partner 2 da Roland. Que aplicativo agradável e intuitivo! Fica tudo mais fácil com ele. Usei a versão para IOS, via conexão Bluetooth em um Iphone 8S. Pelo aplicativo, é possível controlar tudo no piano, de timbres a metrônomos e sensibilidade das teclas. Além disso, ele inclui exercícios de percepção musical, uma agenda que contabiliza quanto tempo passamos ao piano e 17 músicas para estudo. Vale ressaltar que essas músicas são acompanhadas pela partitura e por um mecanismo que mostra onde o som está na partitura (com mudança de página automática), para facilitar a leitura. Também é possível gravar o som do piano no aplicativo, a gente tocando. Só não sei ainda se é possível exportar essas gravações. Vou pesquisar depois. A qualidade de gravação é excelente (aparentemente, a mesma das músicas que vêm com o aplicativo). Um ponto negativo é o pedal, que é de plástico, escorrega e faz barulho. Comprei um cromado de pouco mais de cem reais aqui mesmo na Amazon e estou muito satisfeito. Ele é pesado e fica fixo ao chão devido ao acabamento emborrachado que ele possui na parte de contato com o solo.

Literally the best piano for it's price you can't go wrong with this

J’ai acheté ce piano numérique 88 touches Roland FP-10 après avoir longuement hésité avec un Yamaha P45. J’ai visionné différents comparatifs qui donnaient systématiquement le Roland gagnant, et cela a évidemment influencé mon choix. Après plusieurs mois d’utilisation, je suis très content d’avoir opté pour le Roland. Ce piano est excellent et je le conseille aussi bien aux débutants qu’aux confirmés : le toucher lourd Roland est un vrai plaisir pour la pratique quotidienne, et j’ai vraiment la sensation d’être devant mon piano droit au niveau du ressenti, avec des touches larges, profondes et une texture ivoire naturelle et très agréable. Le son est par ailleurs d’excellente qualité : les 4 émulations de piano, mais aussi les autres sons proposés (pianos électriques, clavecins, orgues, nappes, vibraphone etc.) sont très réussis. Les couleurs sont riches et les hauts parleurs sont de bonne qualité, tout comme la spatialisation du son. Les options intégrées sont peu nombreuses et vont à l’essentiel : métronome on/off, possibilité de scinder le clavier en zones, 5 niveaux de volume, morceaux de démo et c’est à peu près tout. Au final, le Roland FP-10 ne se perd pas en fioritures et ce qu’il sait faire, il le fait parfaitement. Vous l’aurez compris : je suis séduit par ce clavier, et je prends d’ailleurs beaucoup de plaisir à jouer dessus. Le porte-partition fourni est facile à installer ou à retirer, et le fabriquant inclut aussi une pédale de sustain qui, même si elle n’est pas très confortable, a le mérite d’exister. J’ai néanmoins investi rapidement dans une pédale Roland DP-10, plus pratique et qui offre de meilleures sensations de jeu. Les connectiques à l’arrière du piano incluent une fiche casque, pour progresser à toute heure sans risquer de réveiller ses voisins. Enfin, il est possible d’accéder à des fonctions complémentaires en installant l’appli dédiée Roland sur son smartphone. Points positifs : + Toucher lourd excellent + Qualité du son + Rapport qualité/prix excellent Points négatifs : - Pédale d’origine peu pratique Ce piano m’a coûté 400 euros environ et je ne regrette pas d’avoir orienté mon choix vers le Roland FP-10. C’est un excellent piano numérique, pour les débutants comme les confirmés. Travailler des morceaux est un plaisir tant le toucher est agréable et le son d’excellente qualité. Je le recommande sans hésiter !

I love the weighted keys because it feels like a real piano. The sound is very beautiful. The piano is light and easy to carry around.

Nicee👍🏻
