![]() Roland also has a unique model called “Kiyola” KF-10 which only has limited availability in the US at one outlet called by the acronym MoMa. The HP704 sells in local Roland authorized piano stores at about $3750 (plus tax, plus shipping, etc), so it’s in a reasonable price range like a few other top brands. It has the looks, the sound, the key action, and the functionality that make it a winner as compared to all of the other Roland digital pianos currently being offered for 2022 in our opinion. We believe that the Roland HP-704 home furniture cabinet digital piano is definitely the “sweet spot” in the entire new line of Roland pianos. The longer key “key action” is now in the new replacement models GP-6 and GP-9. This is because the key action upgrades in the LX706 & LX708 upright models offers longer keys and more control than what is in the Grand pianos. The PHA50 key action is not anywhere close to a “grand piano” key action. The Roland top of the line digital grand pianos that are now discontinued and came out in 2017 are called the GP607 ($4999 store closeout price) which is a 3′ deep model and GP609 ($8999 store closeout price) which is a 5′ deep model.Īctually we liked the physical modeling piano sound chip in the previos GP607/GP609 digital grand pianos much better than the newer current upright style LX pianos, although the key action in the Roland LX706/LX708 is better than the regular PHA50 key action currently in the the GP607 and GP609. However, we would recommend you instead invest your money into the new digital grand models which are substantially better, especially with regard to key action and are worth the higher price if you want to keep it for a long time. The new GP-6 and GP-9 digital grand models replace the former GP607 and GP609 which are now discontinued with a closeout sale going on them while they last. The digital grand pianos include the new GP-3 micro grand, GP-6 mini grand, and GP-9 acoustic baby grand size along with the GP-9M model that has actual moving keys like a player piano which will move along (up & down) with MIDI song files playing from a USB thumb drive in the piano. Roland has a new GP digital grand piano series that is just coming out now for 2023 and does have their latest digital piano sound and key action technology in them. Those HP & LX models came out some years ago from a few years ago so don’t have Roland’s latest sound and key action technology. The latest releases include the HP & LX series of home furniture cabinet upright style digital pianos called the HP702, HP704, LX705, LX706, and LX708. ![]() Roland has approx 13 different models of these 88 key home and portable digital pianos right now (excluding pro stage models without internal speakers) which are all current models.
