General
Roland's RP501R is perfect for budding Tchaikovskys as well as fully developed Mozarts. This beautiful black digital piano has 88 weighted Ivory Feel keys and highly-realistic sounds, giving it the feel as well as the look of an acoustic upright. The RP501R is packed with features to help you grow as a player and there's a built-in rhythm section and Bluetooth functionality so you can use piano apps for iPad or Android, giving this piano a level of versatility that'll keep you playing for years. As well as its realistic look and unbelievably convincing sound, the keyboard has the dynamic response of a real acoustic piano.
Inspiring sounds
The RP501R has Roland's SuperNATURAL sound engine technology on board to inspire your playing to new heights. Whether you're a budding Tchaikovsky or a fully developed Mozart, you'll love the rich, expressive sound this piano can deliver. Despite its compact size, the RP501R is equipped with built-in speakers capable of delivering plenty of volume that can be controlled using the separate up and down volume buttons. This digital piano has an Ivory Feel PHA-4 keyboard that adjusts to your playing style the more advanced you become.
Advantages of a digital piano
One of the main disadvantages of an acoustic piano is that it's extremely heavy and requires regular maintenance, meaning they are not only sensitive and cumbersome but expensive. Since this Roland piano weighs approximately 41 kg and will never need tuning, these problems disappear and by using a set of headhone, you can practise whenever you like without disturbing anyone. The RP501 even has a special 3D Ambience headphone effect to really wrap you up in that sonata your practicing. While acoustic pianos can only produce one sound, the Roland RP501R-CR digital piano doesn't just delivery an authentic piano sound but a further 300 other sounds, including various other pianos, string instruments and drums to really push you skills and creativity to symphonic heights.
