Feature:
The features on this piano are better than I would have originaly expected. After figuring out how to use all of them they can be very useful, especially the transposing feature. The only complaint I have about the features is there are not very many different instruments.

Quality:
The quality does need some improvements but it is still better that most other pianos. When I received my piano it had a small scratch on the music stand, and the pedals could use some improvements to make them more sturdy.

Value:
The value is excellent compared to other brands, but, they should include a piano bench.

Sound:
The sound of this piano is the best of all digital pianos I have used. Roland did an excellent job with the low and high pitch notes by making them sound like a real grand piano. On many digital pianos the low and high ends notes often sound rather phony.

Ease of Use:
This is a relatively simple piano to learn to use even if you don't read the manual.

Feature:
Roland packaged a pair of inexpensive headphones with the keyboard stand in mine, which was nice. A very useful feature is the ability to temporarily lock out the panel controls so that a stray finger bump against the panel can't change the settings in the middle of performing a song. It's got a headphone hanging hook, which provides a fine place to keep the headphones (as long as one doesn't have curious, cord chewing cats around the house). The least useful feature to me is the idiosyncratic voice pairings that are brought up through some of the voice variations; I wish it allowed me to mix and match choosing at least two from all the possible sub-voices. I don't think I'll ever use most of those voice pairings. I'd also like to see the keyboard split mode let me transmit on two different midi channels, for the keyboard to let me choose a single midi channel to receive on, and for the keyboard to have a way of saving voice related settings across powered-off times. Some of the useful features require cryptic combinations of button presses to access; this unit could use a panel overlay like the old HP2700 had which explained more about alternative functions of the buttons.

Quality:
This is an inexpensive unit, not in the league of the HP series, and it shows. Some of the voices, such as low organ, make the cabinet rattle even at moderate volume. The pedals "creak" with the unit sitting on carpet, until the adjusting wheel is turned down so tightly that the unit has to be lifted off the floor to allow the wheel to be turned that far. The keyboard cabinet finish looks like varnished paperboard (the stand finish is better). The modesty panel, which is otherwise nice because of its height, is flush to one side of the stand but has a visible gap on the other side. It would be OK for home or light studio use, but on the road I think its case would get rapidly beat up. The panel buttons don't seem too puny compared to some earlier Roland items I've had where the buttons internally had little flexing plastic legs that would eventually break with use -- time will tell on these.

Desirability:
It demos quite well in a showroom. I rate it only middle because I only needed one to replace an older Roland unit sitting in a studio so that I could bring the older unit back in my house.

Sound:
The mellow piano voice sounds more realistic than the default grand piano voice, which seems to hit some tinny resonances on some combinations of notes, and some voices actually rattle the cabinet. (This is less noticeable or unnoticeable on headphones.) This unit does not have a honky tonk piano voice as such, but that can be realistically simulated by adding Chorus effect to either standard or mellow piano voice. It's worth studying the manual to understand how to nuance the chorus, reverb, and pedal sympathetic resonance effects, as this is not obvious from looking at the panel but adjustments of these do make a nice difference in the sound.

Ease of Use:
For the simple player, it comes up in an immediately playable mode with a piano voice at medium settings which sounds mostly OK. Most but not all of the features implied through the labels on the panel are intuitive. The manual is clear, but could use an index. The assembly instruction sheet said nothing about a mysterious part that upon careful perusal of the manual turned out to be the headphone hanger. The keyboard has a good rebounding feel as opposed to earlier models that felt flat, it is easy as almost any digital or acoustic piano keyboard to play adeptly.

Support:
I rate this as good because I've purchased service parts for other Roland products from Roland, which can be done over the phone and the people will help you determine what part number you need.

Overall:
I'd probably keep it until it became unrepairable or else till I came across a far better sounding unit selling for a similar price.
