Roland RD-08

88-Key Digital Stage Piano

Acclaimed RD Sound and Playability in an Easy-to-Carry Instrument

Delivering the acclaimed sound and playability of the RD Series keyboards, but in a lighter and more affordable instrument, the Roland RD-08 is an 88-key digital stage piano that offers an inspiring playing experience for singer/songwriters and pianists performing live onstage or in the studio. Develop authentic piano techniques with the SuperNATURAL Piano and SuperNATURAL Electric Piano engines and with the 88-key PHA-4 Progressive Hammer Action keybed with Escapement and Ivory Feel. For extra versatility, there’s a curated selection of over 3000 acoustic and electronic sounds from Roland’s historic legacy using the ZEN-Core Synthesis System found in the company’s flagship synthesizers. You can also connect a mic and sing along while playing.

With its clean and compact design, the RD-08’s lightweight and sturdy build makes it easy to take with you and set up quickly even on small stages or in cramped rehearsal spaces. The room-filling integrated speaker system is ultraconvenient and lets you play without the need to connect to a PA system.
