Roland releases RD-08 Stage Piano

Roland has expanded its RD series of stage pianos with the RD-08, a new entry-level model designed for performing musicians. The RD-08 offers Roland's SuperNATURAL sound engine, expressive weighted-action keys, and a selection of essential sounds for stage performance.

The RD-08 features Roland's PHA-4 88-note weighted hammer-action keyboard with 'Ivory Feel' keys for a realistic playing experience. Sounds include dynamic acoustic and electric pianos from the SuperNATURAL engine, plus organs, synths, and more from the ZEN-Core engine used in Roland's top-tier synthesizers.

The RD-08 makes this acclaimed heritage accessible in a budget-friendly instrument with core RD features.

The streamlined interface includes dedicated controls for sound selection, effects, EQ, and more. Built-in speakers offer convenient sound for practice and small performances.
