ROLAND RELEASES MP-60 DIGITAL PIANO

Los Angeles, November 3, 2003—Roland is proud to announce the new MP-60 Digital Piano. Affordably priced and simple to use, the new MP-60 incorporates Roland's award-winning piano sounds and keyboard touch in a traditional upright cabinet with an attractive black finish.

The MP-60’s 88-note Progressive Hammer-Action Keyboard gives users the same responsiveness and touch as an acoustic piano, while improved stereo-sampled piano sounds capture every nuance—including the sound of the hammer striking the strings. A selection of instrument tones like harpsichord, strings and acoustic bass enhance any performance. And with eight levels of reverb, plus chorus and Sympathetic Resonance effects, users can capture the feel of a concert hall performance.

A built-in 2-track Song Recorder makes it possible to record performances on the fly, while an onboard metronome helps students stay in time when practicing. The MP-60’s new LED display makes menu navigation simple and intuitive. Two powerful 20-watt speakers make this piano the perfect choice for churches, schools and homes.

Additional features include a music rest and Fixed Damper, Soft and Sostenuto pedals for dynamic playing. Stereo headphones are included.
