Roland HP704 digital piano

The Roland HP704 digital piano delivers authentic piano performance and a great specification at an attractive price point. Its PHA50 wood/plastic keyboard mechanism is fully weighted with ivory feel and escapement for enhanced authenticity and provides ample resistance while remaining nicely responsive. Paired with Roland's latest SuperNATURAL modelling sound engine, borrowed from the top of the range LX series models the piano has limitless polyphony on piano sounds to eliminate any possibility of note drop out, and while there are a number of preset grand piano sounds it is fully editable to enable you to create your perfect instrument. A wide pallet of 324 voices includes some great electric piano, organ and orchestral sounds, along with a GM pallet for MIDI recording including sound effects and drums. A versatile instrument through and through, the LX704 also has onboard Bluetooth enabling it to be used with iOS and Android apps including Piano Everyday for learning, along with the Piano Designer customisation app among many others. It's Acoustic Projection speaker system comprises 4 speakers with a total of 60W amplification, positioned to generate the same sound field as a grand piano to enhance the acoustic piano playing experience. New for 2019 the HP704 is highly recommended and worth comparing against the Yamaha Clavinova CLP645.
