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.

The Roland FP-10 checks all the boxes that every piano learner needs. - 88 weighted keys to match the feeling of playing on an acoustic piano - Bluetooth MIDI to conveniently connect to a tablet for apps like Piano Marvel, FlowKey, etc. - 96 notes of polyphony (how many sounds the piano can played simultaneously, especially important when using the sustain pedal!) which is more than enough for even intermediate players. Even if you are not a piano learner, the FP-10 is the perfect weighted MIDI device input or something to practice with in a small space. The only comparable piano in this class and price range is the Yamaha P145BT. Before choosing this or the Yamaha I highly recommend going to a music store and testing to see which one you prefer. In my opinion: - FP-10's keys are superior. They are more heavy and have an ivory feel. The P145BT keys are lighter and have a plastic feel. In fact, FP-10's keys use the same PHA-4 action found in their more expensive piano models, while the P145BT keys use the Graded Compact Hammer action which is reserved for their budget models. - FP-10 has a warm piano sound, while the P145BT has a crisp piano sound. - FP-10 has downward speakers, so best played with a piano stand, while P145BT has forward speakers, so it can be played on a flat surface. Regardless of speaker orientation, both pianos are best played with headphones. Cons: - Speakers are weak, not suitable for gigging or playing in large spaces. Yes you can connect it to speakers with an amplifier, but if you are already going through this trouble, it's better to make the extra investment and get a Roland model with stronger built-in speakers instead. - No line output, meaning it is a pain in the butt to capture the sound from the piano. MIDI only records the key press actions not sound! Taking a video recording is not ideal unless you can play in a soundproof room. There is a workaround involving buying a USB Audio interface, a Y-splitter cable and connecting it to a PC/Laptop, but the more expensive Roland models like the FP-30X makes this a cinch, all you need is to stick in a USB stick and you can record. - The included sustain pedal is a joke. Buy another one immediately. If you do buy the Roland DP-10 pedal it can be configured to do half sustain. - The piano stand is sturdy, but small. It is enough to support a tablet or a piano book, but individual printed music sheets will flap backwards. The stand is only large enough to barely support 3 pages. - The PHA-4 Action is very nice to play on, but has issues with "clickiness". If you play the piano without it turned on or play with headphones, you and others will notice these sounds. - If you/your loved one(s) decide to stick with this piano you'll start to notice its deficiencies and wish you would have initially bought a more expensive model instead, as it would have been a better long-term investment. Overall FP-10 is a great starter piano for just about anyone. It's relatively affordable so if you do decide to quit it won't feel like breaking the bank. The only downside is this is strictly a learner/practice piano and not designed for performing. If you/your loved one(s) do decide to stick with piano playing long-term, it is easy to outgrow it and wish for a piano with better features and better key action.

Bought this as a portable keyboard to take back and forth to my piano lessons. While “portable “ it is still just a bit heavy for me to carry around, not so much just carrying in its case but when I have to lift it into the car or onto a table to unpack it. Maybe it’s just me though. It’s a full 88 keys and fully weighted keys so it just can’t mechanically be much lighter. As a piano/keyboard it is an excellent understudy for my Roland fp e50 which stays home. The keyboard is decidedly “piano “ focused as it has limited extra bells and whistles and extra instrument voices or sounds. As a piano though it is excellent! The feel of the keys are very responsive and contribute to learning the nuances of playing piano. One caveat, the downward facing speakers sound great when it’s on its stand, but at class I play on a desk and the speakers dont quite sound like they do at home. Nonetheless they still sound pretty good. All in all I highly recommend this piano as unbeatable for its price.

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.

I have been playing this for almost 4 months now on and off as my second piano, share my first observations here; first of all, the touch n feel of d keyboard is really good. I play mostly acoustical piano and this comes reasonably close in terms of natural feel. Second the sound of piano’s is really decent, as well as organ and harpsichord (others i don’t really use). It’s mot really clear what the diffrences between the 4 piano sounds ate )excluding electri piano here); it would have been nice if they had descriptions, clearer distinctions, or both. The thing i’m still trying to work thru is finding the right amp, and think Roland might be a next choice for that. I have owned a Roland amp before and never had issues. If anyone has suggestions please let me know. The sound gets too much broken into ranges on the Peavey amp i sue, finding myself continuously adjusting the balance, which makes me realize that i can’t uet fully enjoy the piano sound. I bought a standard poano pedal, as i’m used to in an acoustical one, so i recommend that. Also a liquid stand i bought. All in all though i’m very impressed with the value for the money and happy to have spent weeks researching before buying, as i was on a budget and this was unexpected, to find in this price range. Thats it for now. Thanks!

This digital piano has passed my expectations so far. It is light and small enough for the user to pick up and store in the closet after practice, which in my case is a big plus. The key covering is really nice to the touch, much better than the plastic coverings on other keyboards and even on concert pianos. Although the "action feel" is not 100% exactly like on a real piano, it has enough realistic weight and resistance one needs to develop strength and dexterity, so the transition to a real piano only will need small adaptations. The "Heaviness" of the keys can be adjusted! The default is the "Medium" weight; I recommend the "Heavy" setting as this comes closest to a real Grand Piano. To find out how to do that you'll need to download the REFERENCE MANUAL. With broad dynamic range headphones the sound is really good; with the built-in speakers however it is somewhat "nasal". Furthermore, the sound "dulls" when adjusting the key weight to "heavy" and especially to "extra heavy" (therefore the 4 stars for sound quality), so I would not recommend to get this piano for serious recording or concert use i.e., although the "voicing' of this piano (brightness, reverb) can be custom adjusted, independent of the 4 general piano sound settings it has. UPDATE: Both piano sound complexity and realism (not speaker sound quality) and action feel are good enough for using the Roland FP10 as a practice instrument for piano players. This has been my experience in recent months and is also corroborated by reviews on YouTube. Tuning pitch (but not temperament!) and key transposition are adjustable as well, and all custom adjustments can be saved. Again, it is important to have the reference manual for doing that; the user's manual that comes with the instrument does not explain how to do custom adjustments! Those functions however are the ones that take this digital piano beyond "entry level". It is NOT necessary to connect the piano to the Bluetooth to make it work, or for any of the mentioned custom adjustments, and I haven't ventured so far at this point. I will update once I have. The cons I found is that 1) there is no jack outlet for headphones in the FRONT of the instrument, 2) the Metronome does not have a graded slider, knob, or display with the standard numbers of beats per minute we find on a traditional metronome. UPDATE: The DEFAULT beat rate is 120 BPM. Pressing the +10 or -10 and +1 or -1 keys changes the beating rate; it takes some math to set the desired rate. 3) The FP10 has no on board recording feature; if you need one better get the FP30. Also, I recommend to get a better quality sustain pedal right away when ordering this piano, as the provided pedal switch is a real pain to work with because it is too light, and slides away under the foot. Other than that I haven't found any problems. I will keep this review updated if anything else comes up. I am a retired classical concert organist who recently decided to take up piano playing again; but have no space even for a small acoustical or standalone digital piano. I am happy to have this portable practice instrument at home, and consider that the price is right for what this piano is. Very satisfied so far!

It’s perfect. It’s exactly what I wanted. The touch on the keyboard feels great like a real piano. It sounds good Looks good nothing super fancy.

tacto exactamente igual al de un piano de madera, sonido bueno, los altavoces no son muy potentes y si se toca a maximo volumen parece que sufren, yo recomiendo conectarlo a un amplificador con mas potencia y asi, tocando a medio volumen, se oye con mas calidad. Tiene pinta de ser robusto. El tacto de las teclas, imitacion a marfil, esta muy conseguido.

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.
