As primarily a piano player for 60+years, I find the keybed and action stellar, with a lighter touch than some grands and heavier than most uprights.Sound wise Natural piano Concert Grandis very good...if not excellent, with unlimited ability to customize. With 100's of voices, some great and some not so much... this is too subjective to rate since ones perception is based on experience. I'll leave it that most would find enough usable choices.Coming from a RD 800, I found a few surprising omissions though. First, it is impossible to transition from one voice to another by using the sustain and shift on the flywithout the abrupt cut off of the notes and only 1 voice can be layered at a time...the best work-a-round I found was to use volume slider to faze in or out ... MoreAs primarily a piano player for 60+years, I find the keybed and action stellar, with a lighter touch than some grands and heavier than most uprights.Sound wise Natural piano Concert Grandis very good...if not excellent, with unlimited ability to customize.

Also only one voice can be recorded internally.Secondly, I wish the scroll through for voices was controlled by a rotary dial and a numeric pad for quick and accurate selection...using a single momentary button makes it too easy to miss what I'm looking for, and I wonder how long that control will hold up with the constant pressing.Overall I like this keyboard very much and find the piano voices and action to be a big gain over the RD 800, preferring modeling over the sampling. And as usual I couldn't be happier with B&H's great customer service.

I was a little unsure what this unit would be like but after reading the specs and watching a couple of video reviews I took the plunge and ordered a Roland FP-90 online and a couple of days later and despite UPS's best efforts I received a perfectly intact and functioning FP-90 which is a testament to the way Roland packaged the thing up, (the box arrived with a huge hole on one side). Lets start with the build quality. This thing is built like a tank and weighs almost as much. After owning a couple of Yamaha's I can definitely see that the FP-90 has been built to a higher standard. The front and back are metal with a plastic top and sides. It really does look good and to be honest has a nicer look and feel than most of the sub $2000 pianos on the market.

It really does look good and to be honest has a nicer look and feel than most of the sub $2000 pianos on the market. The keyboard feels nice and solid and the overall function is smooth with a medium weight. The action is way better than a Yamaha P-255 and in my opinion on par with the CP4. This piano has built in speakers and they sound great. With the volume turned up you can easily fill a small venue without having to use an external amp or speakers. The piano sounds built into the FP-90 all sound really good, they sound full and rich, plus with the help of the Piano Designer app can be adjusted to the users preference. In my comparison the built in grand piano sounds better than my old Yamaha P-255, CP40 and against a direct comparison with Pianoteq. I LOVE THE BUILT IN BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY. Without any cables or complications this piano paired directly to my iPad and Mac book Pro. The available Roland apps include the afore mentioned Piano Designer and Piano Partner 2. Both of these apps are well designed and work perfectly. I also got a chance to test it with Playground Sessions and the program worked flawlessly with the midi connection coming from the Bluetooth adaptor built into my Mac book.

I absolutely love my new Roland FP90X. I purchased the full set complete with stand, pedals, bench and headphones. Everything arrived quickly and it was super easy to get everything set up. I have rediscovered my love of playing and practicing as I get more familiar with my new 'toy'. Such a great purchase!
