Roland RP102 Digital Console Piano Black 88 Key

Accompaniment piano for Praise band

After reading many reviews I purchased this keyboard and am generally happy. To be honest, if I could have a real piano I would have purchased that instead. I miss the sound and feel of an actual piano, with all the idiosyncrasies that can come with it. The sound and feel of the keyboard is almost too perfect. The action is a bit heavy for me. I tried adjusting it but still a little stiff. However, for this price this is a great keyboard. Great for learning and pretty lightweight as far as moving goes.

I wanted a piano to learn on and have in the living room. I looked at other digital pianos in the price rang but I like this one the most. I like that the RP102 is a full size keyboard with piano like keys, has a key cover, is simple to use as a digital piano, has foot pedals, and is over all a nice looking unit. I think the price is good for what you get. The app works well and is fun to play with too! The piano sounds are great and each piano does sound different! This is a great learning piano. I have been around grand and upright pianos and this is not really a replacement for a nice acoustic piano but as a small space practice piano I'm really happy with it.

I am thrilled to have found this piano. It's my third keyboard and by far the best. Most important, it actually sounds like a piano. The action is superb, and it looks like a piano (including the ivory-colored keys). Like a piano, it has a cover that slides out over the keys. The pedals are solid. The packing of the piano and all its parts was incredibly secure. The assembly instructions were clear as can be, and assembly was straightforward. The functionality of the keyboard itself is perfectly adequate for playing the piano voices and a small set of other voices but very limited as far as electronic gadgets (not least, drum machines) go. But the internet app provides access to an incredible array of gadgets that I have not begun to explore. If you want a fine, attractive, inexpensive piano, you cannot do better. If you're into electronics, the app should be more than satisfying.

I spent an hour in the store trying out every electric keyboard with 88 keys available on the floor. This includes electric baby grands too. This was the only keyboard that sounded like a real piano for all the keys. I was shocked how many other recognizable brands made pianos that only sounded legit for just the middle range or sometimes not even that. They all distorted the sound of the notes in different places to the point where it didn't sound like a real piano at all. Having realistic sounding notes was important to me since we were replacing a real piano with this and I didn't want it to ruin any ear training. The keys have the weighted reaction feature that feels right and they feel higher quality than many of the other keyboards whose keys felt like plastic. Note that while the keyboard itself is quite heavy, the stand is made if MDF particle board so you will want to take great care when putting it together so you don't accidentally crush part of the board or scratch it. Also don't recommend moving this piano much after after it's assembled. One of my family's favorite feature is the preprogrammed music that you can play along with too. With an iPad you can scroll through the entire collection and the selection is huge. You will really hear the quality of the sound demonstrated when you listen to those songs!

I love my new piano!! It works and sounds like a dream! I assembled this by myself with the help of my 7 year old (which wasn't much help, especially when it came to lifting it) but I did manage to get it put together. The main keyboard unit is extremely heavy. I highly recommend having a second adult available to help you with assembly. And the box is HUGE! It was at least 6 feet tall. It is now being used daily and we really enjoy it. The app that goes along with it is super cool too and easy to use.
