Acoustic & Digital Piano Buyer Praises the Latest FP Model

Roland FP-90 with KSC-90 stand and KPD-90 pedal.

Roland’s popular FP-90 Digital Piano is the subject of an in-depth review in the Spring 2017 issue of Acoustic & Digital Piano Buyer. The semiannual publication is one of the leading resources for prospective piano buyers, providing a wealth of valuable information about choosing the ideal instrument, whether digital or acoustic.

At its typically advertised price, this is a sub-$2,000 instrument with the sound quality of an over-$3,000 one, and with just enough extra features to enhance, but never disrupt, the workflow and learning process of piano-centric professionals and amateurs alike.”

The review consists of a comprehensive article, plus a series of eight videos. Continue reading to find out more.
