Review on Roland FP-10 digital piano black by Dimitar Kostakev ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I should have looked for better, I spent my money on a mediocre product.

Despite all the shortcomings, the piano will go, although it is below expectations. You can train on it, you can learn works of an average level. And among the rolls in this price segment, this is the best option with a huge margin. Because if you take the keyboard one level higher, then in terms of money it will be 3-4 times more expensive. Perhaps competitors (yamaha, casio) have better keyboards, but I really don’t like the unnatural sound there. Therefore, while I am at the level of the muses of the school, such rigidity will be enough for me. And then maybe I'll buy a real acoustic piano and install a silent playing system on it so as not to wake the neighbors. It turns out that there is

Pros
  • Pretty good natural sound. I did not say that it is super, the sonority is still not enough when compared with the piano. But at the same time it sounds very natural and dignified.
Cons
  • Keyboard: for a music school - it will do. If the level of the game is higher, then the speed of the keys is no longer enough. Let's figuratively say - "Flight of the Bumblebee" cannot be played on it, because the keys do not have time to return back when played quickly. On account of the knock of the keys. Well, I would not say that this is a big disadvantage. But I won’t play it late in the evening, because all the same, at night the roar from the keys is very audible and can cause discomfort to the neighbors. Not to be compared with a real piano, where the knock is almost inaudible. But in general, this is not a terrible drawback. Adjustable key hardness. The stiffness is, of course, adjustable, but if we take the smallest stiffness, then it is harder than that of the acoustic piano "Belarus". It is unrealistic to play at the highest hardness - why it was made is unclear. Moreover - the harder you set the level, the more programmatically the sound becomes muffled. No matter how hard you hit the keys with all your might, the sound does not grow and is quiet. And so I don’t understand, why muffle the sound when changing the stiffness? This is clearly some sort of scam. Therefore, I set it to the smallest hardness and it turns out - the most sonorous sound. There are few instruments and those that have a piano - 4 pieces do not differ much from each other. However, they are not very loud. But the fact that they sound very natural - it covers the lack of sonority Also uncomfortable pedal. Obviously it's cheap, but it could be better. The problem is in the designers or marketers who specifically did this to buy normal replacement pedals
