| Roland's acclaimed HP
range of pianos comprises three models: the entry level HP-302, the HP-305
and the flagship HP-307. These new HP pianos share Roland's market-leading
SuperNATURAL piano technology (derived from the powerful V-Piano) as well
as a range of features making them perfect for education. First though,
let's mention the most important part of a piano - the sound. HP Pianos
have a breakthrough "SuperNATURAL piano sound engine" which faithfully
replicates the rich tone and expression found in a traditional grand piano,
making the sound quality far superior to other digital pianos. Three key
elements are dramatically improved: velocity response, note decay, and key-range
behaviour. Where previous sample-based technology created coarse "stair-step"
gaps in velocity and key range, and unnatural looping in note decay, SuperNATURAL
bridges the gaps with perfection smooth and natural three-dimensional sound
and response. Put simply: these pianos contain the most convincing, authentic
and evocative piano sounds available, giving students the best possible
start to their playing career, especially when considered alongside the
other educational features found onboard. Unique to Roland and the HP Piano
range if the "twin piano" function which allows you to split the
keyboard in two. The two players, |
wearing headphones, can play without hearing each
other or have the sounds blended, ideal for teacher/pupil sessions: it's
like two pianos on one keyboard!
HP Pianos also include a three-track recorder so pupils can record, playback
and save performances making it easier to correct mistakes and suggest improvements.
All three pianos come with a wide range of built-in songs which are a perfect
way to teach, and you can even play back songs stored on a USB memory stick
(or via optional CD drive) meaning the students can play along with the
full backing tracks. This is the perfect way to encourage practice, as they
can play along with their favourite tunes. Better still, the speed of the
song can be slowed down without changing the pitch to allow the student
to practise different pieces. Additionally, a centre-cancel function can
remove the vocal track from pre-recorded music, allowing the children to
sing over their performance. The sublime PHA III keyboard action offers
a no-compromise playing surface while the stimulated (escapement) of the
keys gives you the feel and response of a grand piano. For piece of mind,
Roland pianos come with a three year guarantee. They're also low maintenance
so they don't require expensive tuning or regular visits from the piano
tuner, another plus for busy music departments. |

"We've been using Roland pianos for our Keyboard Skills
classes for many years. Our students and professors have always been impressed
with the excellent action, sensitivity and musical quality of the instruments.
Improvements in the latest HP models will further enhance the professional
training the very talented young musicians receive at the Royal College
of Music."
David Graham, Royal College of Music
