Thanks for the video! What was the down-weight of middle C when you used your piano weights, please? I am very "particular" on how my pianos are regulated.

@RivertonPianoCompany 5 жыл бұрын

Hi, Robert! Thanks for watching. We're glad you enjoyed them! The down-weights we measured are right around 55 grams - same the grand pianos in our store. I know Steinway often weights a bit heavier, but we prefer the more standard weighting. Hope that helps!

Wish it had more than just two piano models. One or two classical Fortepianos would've been nice for Classical players and fans.

@RivertonPianoCompany 3 жыл бұрын

Dave, I think you might be getting ahead of the industry a little bit. Roland my "only" have two model cores, but no other home piano line has that many. Those two cores provide incredibly high-resolution models of pretty much any piano out there. They also included seven other sampled piano sounds and THREE "Fortepiano" sounds. True - those sounds aren't modeled - but nobody in the industry offers modeled pianoforte sounds. (We're not yet seeing that technology in synthesizers or performance-grade stage keyboards.) Hopefully, as the technology develops, we'll see more and more modeled sounds... but not yet. Great idea, tho!

@@RivertonPianoCompany I have a 20-year-old keyboard that has several piano models, albeit nothing like the quality of this. And here's a video which compares a Kawai and Yamaha, both of which featuring several piano models, including four fortepianos in the Yamaha: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/epl_nrqVx7Scg6c.html. I'm glad the Roland offers seven other piano sounds plus THREE fortepianos, which was the whole point of my comment, so thanks for correcting me, eventually. (Sounds/samples/models - bit pedantic since that wasn't the point. By 'model' I was referring to piano models, not digital modelling.) Roland should advertise the other piano models or "types," if you prefer, IMO.

@RivertonPianoCompany 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, Dave! Thanks for your reply. I apologize if you thought I was being pedantic earlier, but my job is to help folks understand the difference between sampling (ie - using recorded sounds) and physical modeling (the new technology that allows Roland pianos to generate a living, breathing tone in real life - with no memory or recording limitations). There's a pretty big difference. Twenty years ago, nobody used modeling... so you're referring to a sample. Kawai and Yamaha both use sampling today (with some resonance modeling mixed in)... but Roland is pure physical modeling. That's really important as it's one of the critical differences between brands. I just wanted to make that clear. As for the other piano sounds Roland offers (including their fortepiano sounds), you can always find a full list on their website (for each model)... but - in all honesty - this is the first time anyone has asked me about a pianoforte sound in the 18 years I've done this. It's just not a common question. Clearly, you're interested in some cool stuff... and, thankfully, Roland has a ton of options for you there! Thanks for bringing this up and giving us a chance to clear it up. This will help everyone! Happy Holidays!

Is it possible to make the piano sound like an upright piano with the customisation features?

@RivertonPianoCompany 3 жыл бұрын

Of course. You can make it sound like anything you want. ...but the 708 does have a sampled "upright piano" patch onboard as well... so you don't have to customize an upright sound if you don't want to.

@davidcunningham7330 2 жыл бұрын

Two questions: Is there much noticeable difference between the 706 and the feedback touch of the 708? Do the 8 speakers sound that much better on the 708 than the 6 on the 706?

@RivertonPianoCompany 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, David, and thanks for watching. Yes. The 708's extra audio channel and two speakers makes a huge difference in the piano's sound. Combine that with the haptic feedback mechanism and the 708 is incredible to play. We are sold out right now and - when we get some in - we sell them quickly. It's a surprisingly beautiful piano to play - far moreso than the other LX pianos. It really is the best piano Roland makes (right up there with the GP-609).

@bastiaan9055 2 жыл бұрын

I have played on Both and yes there is a big difference, one of the reasons as well is the 708 does not divide the cabinet in two with the key cover that slides in like on the 706

@RivertonPianoCompany 2 жыл бұрын

Great point, Bastiaan! True. The 708 is a one-piece cabinet with slow-close fallboard - just like a traditional upright piano. Roland won a Red Dot design award for that cabinet and we can see why!

What kind of headphones come with the Roland lx 708?

@RivertonPianoCompany 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, Emme. If you're in the United States, you'll likely either get a set of Roland RH-A7 headphones for digital pianos or a set of V-Moda Headphones.

Hi! Is this digital piano suitable for classical music?

@RivertonPianoCompany 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, Florin! Thanks for your question. Yes. This is an excellent piano for classical music. Professional players use Roland digital pianos for all genres. It's been on stage at Carnegie Hall and Russian Classical Pianist, Yana Reznik, has performed on all kinds of Roland pianos. She even recorded an entire album on one! The LX-708 is Roland's flagship technology. I can't think of a better digital piano for classical music. Give it a try!

Three years now that LX708 is thee. When is expected its successor?

@RivertonPianoCompany Жыл бұрын

You never know. Pianos aren't like cars. They don't put out a new model every year. Roland will only release a new model when the 708's technology starts to feel dated. ...and the 708 is still the most advanced digital piano in the world. No other model has a full-sized, one-piece cabinet design with 3D surround system, lid activated speakers, grand-piano-length keys and haptic feedback. In short, they don't *need* to replace this piano yet as the rest of the industry is still tailing behind pretty dramatically. Also, COVID demand pushed new model development back at most major manufacturers for at least a few years because they didn't have enough resources to meet the current demand - let alone stop production to begin making new models. That said, Roland is always thinking ahead and they may have new models in development... but they won't come out in 2022 and I suspect it will be at least another year or more before they do.

Yeah, AZ Piano Reviews is right here in Phoenix. It's run by one guy named Tim Praskins and I would encourage you to take everything he says with a grain of salt. Roland has repeatedly sent him cease and desist letters because of his unauthorized use of Roland photos, inaccurate specs and pricing and overall misrepresentation of who/what he is. The truth about Tim is that he is a piano salesman. He sells Casio, Samick and other low-end brands... so he spends a ton of time trying to convince people Roland pianos are no good so he can sell them something else. You should have seen how different his reviews for Roland were when he was able to sell them. :)

@RivertonPianoCompany Жыл бұрын

...at least we're honest about who we are and where we come from. We wouldn't carry the pianos if they weren't fantastic because - unlike Tim - we're a large and award-winning Roland dealership.

Is it possible to cover the control panel?

Hi, yeo bin! Yes, you can cover the control panel with the slow-close fallboard. It's not the "slide over" key cover the other models have. It's more like the grand piano style.
