"Anyone looking for a digital piano should try this out."

Feature:
Beats are nice to have; internal speakers are good; action is noisy but nice; lighter action than Yamaha, which some may prefer.

Quality:
Initial quality seems excellent.

Value:
A bit too pricey for what you get.

Desirability:
Attractive keyboard.

Sound:
Sounds are generally very good, but not as strong as Yamaha digital pianos.

Ease of Use:
It's a digital piano; how hard can it be?

Support:
can't say

Overall:
Most keyboardists I chat with seem to prefer Yamaha digital pianos, and I agree that Yamaha's sound (esp. the acoustic piano) is better, but I gotta tell you, if your hands can get tired after a couple hours of playing, the Roland might be the better bet. Action on my Yamaha is so stiff that I'm probably going to sell it for that reason alone. (I liked the feel a lot at first, but I'm finding it more and more annoying.)

About This Product!
Description
Docs, Multimedia
The FP-5 Digital Piano is the most advanced FP-Series piano ever. It comes with Roland's finest stereo-sampled piano sounds, an 88-note Progressive Hammer-Action Keyboard, new Virtual ToneWheel organ sounds and a built-in speaker system -- without sacrificing the stylish looks and compact design the FP-Series is known for. An improved Session Partner makes practice more fun, while the addition of a USB port simplifies setups with a computer.

Features:
Compact digital piano with stylish design and onboard speakers

88-note Progressive Hammer-Action Keyboard for ultra-responsive touch

USB-MIDI interface and GM2-compliant sound source

Fantastic Sound
Whether using headphones or the built-in speakers, the FP-5 delivers outstanding piano sounds with amazing realism and expressiveness. That's because the FP-5 benefits from Roland's latest stereo-sampled pianos, which have been fine-tuned to capture every nuance of an acoustic grand. These sounds are further complemented by a new speaker system that faithfully reproduces everything from the deep lower register to the sparkling upper range.

Uncompromising Piano Action
Sit down to play an FP-5 and you'll immediately notice the quality of the keyboard, which uses real hammers rather than springs. Play the lower register and you'll get a heavier touch. Play the upper register and the keys feel lighter. That's the beauty of Roland's Progressive Hammer-Action Keyboard: You can play as expressively as you like with a response identical to an acoustic grand.

New Half-Pedal Recognition
The FP-5 includes 3 pedal inputs, allowing players to connect a damper pedal and optional soft/sostenuto pedals. And with new half-pedal recognition, the FP-5's damper pedal can go between the off and on position for a response even more like an acoustic piano. Nothing comes closer!

*The FP-5 comes with one DP-8 Half Damper Pedal as an accessory.
