I have played piano for many years. I gave my piano to grandchild 20+ yrs ago. I decided to start playing again and purchased a cheaper electric piano, however, I was not pleased at all. We decided to go to Guitar Center and talked with one of the managers. He suggested the Rowland RP501R. After playing it, had to have it. Plays like a dream, voices are superb, ease of assembling was absolutely amazing.

I should have bought the RP102
submitted4 years ago
bySteve
fromCalifornia
I was told by a keyboard specialist at Guitar Center that the RP102 was discontinued and was replaced by the RP501R. They did not have a 501 in the store in the display room so I took his word for it. Being that I only played the RP102 in the keyboard room , i only had that to base the quality of the 501. First of all I loved the 102. The keys were weighted excellently and the piano sound was superior. Well i bought the 501 and lugged it home and set it up in my apartment only to be disappointed by the piano sounds. They are inferior to the 102, muffled on the low end and the keys even seem cheaper. I play classical music so sound and tone is very important to me. That's the down side. The plus is that it has some other cool patches and a bunch of preset rhythms you can accompany to. That said , the reason I bought this model in the first place was for the incredible piano sound of the 102. Anyways buyer beware. I would test drive this thing before you spend over a thousand bucks for it. I only blame myself for not waiting for a showroom model to be available for play.
I would highly recommend the Roland RP 501

I agree with the author and purchased the Roland RP 501 Here is what I love about the piano and what I think can be improved on, for the next model. Overall, Space Saving Cabinet Design Elegant Color Choice Among Contemporary Black, Contemporary Rosewood, Or White Finish 3D Headphone Ambiance Effect 72 Different Rhythm Styles With Intelligent Accompaniment PHA-4 Standard Keyboard With Super Natural Piano Sound CONS-Speaker quality is good but could be better however, that is an easy fix. with some Bluetooth cordless or wired speakers. Many music stores allow you to keep it for a year and upgrade to the next model, less the taxes so eventually one can upgrade to an HP 705$3500 or a GP 6t09 price $10,500 I returned a KROG it was not the EK 50 it was the G1, their higher end model and I am glad I did. The only other piano comparable, in price and in same level of quality. Caveat, even with a veteran and a teacher discount, with a warranty, it was over $1700, and I delivered the piano. Add another $150 if you do not have an SUV or a Truck and you need it delivered, with a Warranty it is over $2,000. You will curse my name when you see the bill but you will then quickly bless it, when you play on it and fall in love. The Roland RP501 and the Yamaha CLP 625 are the only two pianos in the good quality entry level piano level that I would recommend
Best digital piano!!

fromgroton ma
can this piano transpose as you play? for example play in the key of A but set it up 3 half-steps so it's sounding in C?
Yes, the Roland RP501R digital piano can transpose in real time, meaning you can play in one key (like A) and have it sound in another (like C) by setting a transposition. To do exactly what you described—play in A and have it sound in C—you would set the Transpose function to +3 semitones (A → A# → B → C).submitteda year ago
