ROLAND RELEASES UPDATED HP-PIANO SERIES

Redesigned Keyboards, Stunning Piano Sounds and Elegant Cabinets

Los Angeles, CA, January 18, 2007 —The new HP-207/203/201 Series digital pianos bring new piano sound and a refined realistic touch to a beautiful cabinet design. Every model boasts a stunning 88-key multi-sampled piano sound, along with the new PHA II keyboard with a dramatically wider dynamic range than the original HP line.

The flagship HP-207 features a lush multi-sampled piano sound and the new PHA II “Ivory Feel” keyboard with Escapement, along with key touch adjustable to 100 levels. A powerful speaker system, front legs, and elegant cabinet combine for the look and sound of an acoustic piano. To create the perfect custom piano sound, the HP-207’s Piano Designer feature allows friendly access to a variety of tone-shaping controls.

The HP-203 offers the advanced PHA II keyboard with Escapement and wider range of touch response, along with a new multi-sampled piano sound in an elegant cabinet design. Continuous damper pedal offers authentic expression for the ultimate acoustic-piano feel.

The HP-201 brings the elegant cabinet and redesigned keyboard of the new HP Series digital pianos to an affordable price. Its new multi-sampled piano sound and PHA II keyboard with a wider touch-response range make the HP-201 an excellent centerpiece to any home.

All three HP models share the PHA II keyboard in common. These next-generation keyboards feature a redesigned progressive hammer-action mechanism, which dramatically increases the realism and responsiveness of touch. In addition, the HP-series’ acclaimed Escapement feature comes standard on the HP-207 and HP-203 models.
