zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Velocity-sensitive. 64-voice polyphony.

The RD-150 Digital Stage Piano was built around the concept that an entry-level stage piano should still feel and sound like the real thing. That's why its 88-note keyboard uses an improved hammer action that responds like digital pianos costing hundreds more. And with an upgraded sound engine that's equally realistic, the RD-150 sets a new standard for affordable digital pianos.

"Quality Rhodes/Piano at a grate price"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
The rhodes patch is addictive, almost justifies the price on its own. The piano is one of the most realistic i have played (when put through the right amp) and although i hope i will never use it, the jazz scat voice is pretty fun too.
Features
The stripped down interface serves well when playing in dimly lit situations. Twin headphones output is useful too. As a midi contorller, the lack of pitch/mod is a draw back, but hey... its a piano. Jazz organ patch?
Quality
Its Roland... need i say more!
Value
Great value for money. Specially if you are into the rhodes
