Roland F701 Digital Piano Light Ash

I purchased this piano a little over two months ago to begin playing again after many, many years away from my practice. It has been a true joy using the F701. The sound, the feel, and the appearance of the keyboard are all so pleasing. Although there are dozens of available tones to choose from I stick with the concert piano option, which is full and rich. Beyond the sound and playing experience, I appreciate living with a piano that doesn't look like a gigging keyboard, and the inclusion of the bench is both convenient and helps with the streamlined presentation. Of the few quibbles I have, I do wish the music stand was a bit more prominent so pages of books would stay open more reliably. I also find at times that a key will not make a sound if I press too ... MoreI purchased this piano a little over two months ago to begin playing again after many, many years away from my practice.

Of the few quibbles I have, I do wish the music stand was a bit more prominent so pages of books would stay open more reliably. I also find at times that a key will not make a sound if I press too lightly, but I am still strengthening my fingers so I do not believe this is necessarily due to the construction of the F701. Finally, when playing with the volume on the lower end (below level 30 out of 100), bass notes become less audible. However, these last two issues are addressable and I do not hesitate to fully recommend the F701 to anyone seeking an attractive and truly impressive digital piano to play.

No keyboard as yet is like the feel and sound of the real thing but I'm very satisfied with this Roland. The touch and the sound are kind of like a real (cheaper) acoustic piano and the sustain pedal is very accurate. The footprint is also perfect for a small spaceSS

I'm a traditional piano teacher and didn't like any digital piano at all.Recently, I found out that if I wanted to improve and speedy up my students' learning pace, I needed to provide them more recording my demos.After comparing many brands and models of digital piano, Roland F701 is the best choice.The touch, keyboard reaction, and the tone are really close to the real acoustic piano. I'm very satisfied with the sensitive reaction from fortissimo to pianissimo, furthermore, I can record the music for my students at any time without concerning if my family need quiet time. The volume control is very useful that my acoustic piano can't compete with it.It's worth to purchase this!
