General

If anyone knows how to build a simple yet comprehensive digital piano, it's Roland. This particular FP-30 digital piano in black offers everything the modern pianist is looking for: an authentic piano sound, the playability of a grand piano keyboard, and lots of extra features like recording function, various drum rhythms and Bluetooth. Because of its lightweight and compact housing you won't have any trouble moving it around. It comes with a sustain pedal while other options such as a stand or a 3-pedal unit are available separately.

The Roland FP 30: PHA-4 Keyboard and SuperNATURAL

Roland's FP-30 has a full-size keyboard with 88 keys which is known as the PHA-4 keyboard, the improved version of the Ivory Feel G. It also simulates the escapement mechanism of a grand piano, which offers quick note repetition for an even more genuine sound and feel. The ivory finish on each key enhances the overall feeling of authenticity. For a bona fide piano sound, Roland implemented the renowned SuperNATURAL audio source to accurately emulate the sound of strings resonating while the sustain pedal is pressed down, for instance.

Practice & Perform

The FP-30 features several practice and performance functionalities. For practising, you can take advantage of the built-in metronome or one of the 8 drum rhythms. Plug in a USB stick to record and save your own piano parts as MIDI files, or to load in accompaniments as MIDI or WAV files to play along with. The Bluetooth function is especially handy. Use it to connect this piano to a recording app like Garageband, or digital sheet music viewing apps like piaScore or Sheet Music Direct. You can even set up the optionally available 3-pedal unit to turn the pages!

I have been searching for a decent a fair price for this piano for a long time and Bax had it at a reasonable price, even though it was B stock the piano came with nothing wrong that I could see. The delivery was fast and the delivery company kept you informed of time frames etc. Really recommend

Amazing product. The action is realistic, and the triple pedal unit and stand are very firm and solid. Excellent build quality, simulates the feel of a real piano to a tee. No wobble. The sound is really great, I was worried from listening to YouTube videos that it would sound metallic compared to a Yamaha equivalent, which I had tested in person, but it's better than the Yamaha, there's more character and "dynamism" to the sound (it doesn't have that repetitive sampled dullness). In terms of the sheer quality to cost ratio, this is the best purchase I've made in years. Whenever I sit down to play I'm again pleasantly surprised at how good it feels to play! Not a substitute for real piano but the next best thing if you need silent/quiet practice :)



There is a physicality in playing music where we feel a "potential expressive energy" and sense of being able to control and shape the sound when operating a musical instrument. Good quality instruments make their "affordances" (what they are able to do) available to us easily, such as a saxophone that can sing the altissimo with little effort. These instruments actually spur you on to be a better musician because they readily provide positive feedback and less resistance. I honestly wasnt expecting to say this of a *digital piano* (I bought it reluctantly to avoid disturbing the neightbours!) but this piano is one such instrument!

Super tevreden met deze piano. Ondanks dat deze inmiddels niet meer te krijgen is, heb ik er nog één weten te scoren als een B-stock product. Hiervoor heb ik een tijd een Fazley FSP-500 piano gehad en het verschil met deze Roland FP-30 is immens groot. De toetsen voelen fantastisch aan, net als een echte piano, en ook het klavier zelf speelt heel erg fijn. Met deze piano is het echt een plezier om bezig te zijn en ik zou hem absoluut aanraden.

Fantastische piano! Het geluid is echt heel erg goed, de toetsen zijn gewogen maar niet te zwaar en de piano is een lust voor het oog.

Sinds ik de piano heb speel ik meer, zeker met daarnaast aangeschafte koptelefoon zodat de buren er geen last van hebben in de vroege of late uurtjes.

Het onderstel was makkelijk in elkaar te zetten en laat de piano eruit zien en klinken als een echte piano in combinatie met de pedaal-unit.

Voor iedereen een aanrader. Top kwaliteit voor een scherpe prijs!

Wat een geweldig toestel! Het geluid is enorm zuiver, het volume is goed/sterk en de toetsen bewegen heerlijk soepel. Perfecte prijs-kwaliteit verhouding. Het enige wat lastig is, is andere instrumenten kiezen. Hier heb je wel even de handleiding voor nodig om precies uit te vogelen hoe het werkt. Het apparaat heeft ontzettend veel mogelijkheden. Echt super tevreden mee!
