Review on Roland FP-10 digital piano black by Momchil Kinov ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything about the purchase suits me, a very necessary product.

As usual - you go, choose, listen, buying a quality product is very important for me. I watched and listened to competitors. And for the money they were not very much. P45, PX160, CDP s100 and. . FP10 all. I liked the keyboard in the PX160, by the way, I would like to note the progress in the keyboard of the CDPs100, which also has imitation of a bone, but it is definitely worse than the PX160. No, well, maybe by connecting external acoustics everything will be fixed, but I want to have just a piano and not be smart about anything. Vobschem remained Roland and Yamaha. But even here there was not much choice, Roland won on all counts. Of the minuses of Yamaha: the keyboard gives off plastic, no sputtering here, just slippery white plastic, the sound is worse, some kind of clamped, there is bass, but they are not juicy. But compared to Casio - a head taller, so Roland is 2 heads taller than Casio (just kidding). By the way, in the FP-10, the processor costs like in older models from 50 and higher, it differs from the FP-30 in a smaller number of timbres and polyphony, but 96 notes are more than enough for me, and 64 would be enough for me) like Yamaha. And whatever you say, the old models from competitors (about 6 years, it seems). I would also like to note the Pad timbre, which is not available in budget pianos, but in more expensive ones. This is a synthetic lining, i. e. in the dual mode with the piano, you get some kind of magical piano sound, very cool. Therefore, I consider myself very lucky that Roland released this during the FP-10, which in all respects is a cut above the rest (for the money). After 8 months ownership: - Bluetooth does not connect to any phone. - Price 38000! - Black keys clatter, even large headphones do not save. - I'm fed up with just the piano, I want something more, now, probably, it's better to have Casio PX350 reviewed, there is a better keyboard and a huge selection of synthesizer capabilities.

Pros
  • The sound is chic, bright, rich, bassy ! ! The ivory keyboard is very pleasant in terms of tactile sensations. The timbres of the piano in conjunction with the Pad are just super, also the dual piano with violins is balanced very competently (the violins are a little quieter), you can hear the reverb.
Cons
  • No, for this money, no. Everything is just like that. Chattering black keys, even at maximum volume: clack-clap, clack-clack, like cdp (this does not apply to Privia), no complaints about white. The store did not pay attention to this, did not think that Roland could have something like that. Bluetooth can not be connected to the phone, then I found out that almost all owners of this Roland have it, it connects only to units and then to the iphone. In July 2022 the price is 38000r.
