Fantastic Sound
Whether using headphones or the built-in speakers, the FP-5 delivers outstanding piano sounds with amazing realism and expressiveness. That's because the FP-5 benefits from Roland's latest stereo-sampled pianos, which have been fine-tuned to capture every nuance of an acoustic grand. These sounds are further complemented by a new speaker system that faithfully reproduces everything from the deep read more lower register to the sparkling upper range.

Uncompromising Piano Action
Sit down to play an FP-5 and you'll immediately notice the quality of the keyboard, which uses real hammers rather than springs. Play the lower register and you'll get a heavier touch. Play the upper register and the keys feel lighter. That's the beauty of Roland's Progressive Hammer-Action Keyboard: You can play as expressively as you like with a response identical to an acoustic grand.

New Half-Pedal Recognition
The FP-5 includes 3 pedal inputs, allowing players to connect a damper pedal and optional soft/sostenuto pedals. And with new half-pedal recognition, the FP-5's damper pedal can go between the off and on position for a response even more like an acoustic piano. Nothing comes closer!

*The FP-5 comes with one DP-8 Half Damper Pedal as an accessory.

"My golden FP-5"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
As a music professional, I started working with this piano in 2006 and still keep on working with it. From concerts, to MIDI programming for Major labels, to master keyboard for live and studio sessions, this piano has made long journeys with me many times around the world, and yes, it is old now, but I can still play on it and am impressed by its durability and solidity. Of course, the concept of "sound quality" and "brand of the moment" may have varied over the past two decades. And of course, the weight of each individual piano-key is lighter after 16 years, (I'm gonna solve this problem sooner or later! Let me know if you have any help to provide!), but I take care of it and recommend this model to anyone who loves great, long-lasting pianos with awesome essential sounds.
