"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? 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. 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? 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.. ) 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. 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. 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.
