"You can catch the V-Piano at the UK launch, held at the Arnolfini Theatre, Bristol on Wednesday 4th March - ticketed entry is free and the show starts at 11am." Anybody going tomorrow to the big launch? ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/smile.gif) It looks to be very intriguing indeed. If a Steinway staff member can say something so astounding in regards to the new Roland V-Piano then you know it's gotta be extra special. If you remember, I said roughly the same thing i.e. "closest thing ever to a 9' Steinway D" in keyboard form. ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/cool.gif) And that was from just hearing it online from a compressed audio demo on Roland's site. I predict the V-Piano will be a HUGE success for Roland, even at the high price tag that comes along with it. Why you say?? Well, for one thing it sounds like a real acoustic grand Piano yet is actually semi-portable (especially when compared to the real thing). Yes, yes.. (as the crowd echos from the bleachers) Okay, another thing is the price would actually be considered a "steal" compared to buying a real 9' concert Steinway D right? ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/wink.gif) The V-Piano will be a HUGE seller to churches in my opinion too, i.e. those who want a "real" acoustic piano sound but might not have enough room (or resources) for the real thing. Yes indeed! Yamaha and Korg must be drooling with envy (or a panic attack.. ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/biggrin.gif) ) right about now I would think. Ain't competition grand! We'll see what Yammie or Korg can come out with in "ten" to "twenty" years or so, to challenge it. ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/biggrin.gif) For now though, Roland is admirably sitting on the king's throne enjoying the magnificent view from the top of that glorious mountain called achievement. ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/cool.gif) Bravissimo Roland! All the best, Mike [This message has been edited by keybplayer (edited 03-03-2009).]

This is probably just the start of some killer piano related hardware coming from Roland. I have a strong feeling Roland in the future is also going to release a killer ARX Piano Board for the Fantom G. It probably won't be a V-Piano but will most likely have killer editing options. Roland has raised the bar with the V-Piano. To have someone from Steinway make such a positive remark is a good sign.., plus the V-Piano can be had for MUCH MUCH less than the cost of a real acoustic grand piano.., and will let you do SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more than a traditional acoustic piano.., digital, or current workstation based piano. The bar has been raised and it will be very interesting to see Yamaha and Korg's answer to the V-Piano.
