Roland has recently introduced the GO:PIANO88, an affordable yet feature-rich digital piano aimed at beginners and musicians of all levels. This new model is designed for those looking for a lightweight, full-size keyboard that offers high-quality sound without breaking the bank. Roland’s focus with the GO:PIANO88 is on simplicity, portability, and sound, making it an ideal option for anyone seeking a hassle-free playing experience.
The GO:PIANO88 comes with 88 full-size keys that replicate the feel of an acoustic piano, providing a natural and expressive touch. The ivory-feel keys lend a premium look to the keyboard, while the sleek black exterior adds a touch of elegance. Despite the full-size keys, the GO:PIANO88 is remarkably lightweight, weighing only 12.8 lbs, which makes it easy to carry around. It also features built-in stereo speakers and can be powered by batteries, so users can play anywhere without needing an AC outlet. For more discreet practice, headphones can be plugged in to avoid disturbing others.
Roland has ensured that the GO:PIANO88 delivers exceptional sound quality for its price range. In addition to acoustic piano tones, the keyboard offers a variety of other sounds, including electric pianos, strings, organs, and synthesizers, giving players the opportunity to explore different musical styles. The piano is equipped with practice-friendly features like an onboard recording function, allowing users to capture and review their performances. Bluetooth connectivity enables streaming from smartphones, while the USB-C port allows for integration with music software, such as Roland’s Zenbeats, for recording and music production.
For those looking to enhance their practice, the free Roland Piano App provides additional sounds, remote controls, and engaging game-style lessons designed to make learning fun. Roland’s decades of experience in creating high-end digital pianos are evident in the GO:PIANO88, offering rich and responsive tones that are perfect for practice sessions.
The GO:PIANO88 is an excellent choice for beginners, casual players, or musicians on the go. Its portability, battery power, and full-size keys make it an attractive option for anyone needing a practical yet affordable keyboard. It’s also great for students who need a quiet, personal practice space thanks to its headphone support.
The Roland GO:PIANO88 is priced at $379.99 and will be available in March. As an added bonus, purchasers will receive a free one-year Roland Cloud Core membership, which grants access to over 500 digital scores and a range of additional music tools.
