Roland — the world’s leading developer of digital pianos.

Roland has proudly led the development of digital pianos for over 30 years,

steadfastly pursuing the best in sound, touch, and myriad elements that provide a

truly “grand” piano experience. Roland’s development philosophy, superior technical expertise, and commitment to quality have secured the unwavering confidence of both professional and amateur music lovers around the world.

History

Roland propelled the electronic piano market when it launched the EP-30 in 1974. This historic instrument was the first electronic piano in the world with a touch-sensing function built

into the keyboard. Musicians have come to rely on and love Roland digital pianos for their superior sound, touch, expression, and reliability.

Technology

With a passion for sound and music, as well as unrivalled strength in R&D, Roland has developed many “world’s first” technologies that have become global standards. The central R&D base for the Roland Group is the Hamamatsu Laboratory complex, a state-of-

the-art facility that represents the cutting edge of Roland’s innovation. Here the core technologies for the next generation are conceived, created, and refined.
