Introduction:
Welcome to the only FP10 Review you’ll ever need: honest, to the point, balanced, from someone who plays them professionally. Stu Harrison at Merriam Pianos guides you through every aspect of the FP10, from its action and sound, to its features and connectivity options.
Please be sure to check out our full reviews of Roland FP digital pianos, as well as our playing videos of the FP10 as well, where you’ll just get to hear the instrument played straight out of its headphone ports with no effects of any kind.
Action:
The Roland FP10 features their PHA-4 Ivory-touch action with escapement, which is a pro-level action found in instruments all the way up to (and above) the $2000 price point. This makes the FP10 an absolutely incredible value for people seeking a highly portable piano where feel and overall weight are at the top of the priority list. This instrument is essentially a basic keyboard built around a stellar feel, for under $750, which is simply incredible given what that amount of money got you just 5 years ago from digital piano manufacturers.
The PHA-4 is the exact same action that you’ll find in the FP30 and FP60, but also the F140r and the RP501r. It has a very well executed ‘faux’ ivory keytop feel and ebony feel on the black keys, a believable escapement simulation, and a rugged physical construction that doesn’t give off unreasonable mechanical sounds or ‘clunks’.
Were the action driving a more sophisticated tone engine, the lack of the triple sensor might be limiting. However, there isn’t a weak link here that might make any limiting factor stand out unduly, so everything remains quite satisfying, even from a professional perspective.
Tone:
The FP10 does include a slightly limited version of the Supernatural Sound Engine, and slightly lower polyphony than the FP30 has, but it really has no noticeable affect on the playing experience - which might be a combination of lowered expectations and the fact that you wouldn’t be tackling complex classical works on the FP10 anyways (or not likely, anyways).
The piano tone, Rhodes, and all the other standard sounds are well rendered, and particularly with a good set of headphones, the piano is altogether fully usable as a PIANO, not some inexpensive substitute for one.
Other Features:
The Bluetooth connectivity is another impressive inclusion for the price range. The stock sustain pedal leaves something to be desired, but a quick upgrade to the DP-10 is well worth it, and solves one of the only true annoyances of the model. The optional stand increases its aesthetic appeal if it were to live in a living room, although for the sake of stability, a double X stand or Z stand might do just as well.
Conclusions:
Dollar for dollar, the FP10 cannot be beat in the marketplace right now for delivering the best touch. It’s a lightweight beast that will surprise experienced players, and gives new learners an excellent experience at a price that previously only offered up keyboards and very poorly-made digital pianos.

In my experience, the FP10 speakers face downwards and can sound distant. The standard piano sounds also sound a little thin. Luckily, both these issues are easy to fix. The piano sound complexity improves considerably by layering presets 1&2 or 1&4 to play together. The ambient sound can be improved by connecting stereo tweeters to the headphone jack while the main speakers are also enabled. (Setting and saving the audio settings are outlined in the online manual.)
Can you recommend. Stereo tweeter that works good with the fp-10? Perhaps an Amazon link
@@jonathand4454 Computer speakers like the "Creative Pebble 2.0" or similar should work well. Not much volume is needed, more important is the separation and direction of the sound.
@@bossunimportantstuff if you change the keyboard touch feel to super light, the volume will also drastically increase.
Its an incredibly horrific piano sample
If I need to change or to add something (speakers) to "fix" something that shouldn't exist in the first place, then this keyboard is not for me.
This is so incredibly good for its price. The option from Yamaha and Casio at this price range cant keep up with it in terms of key action.
Personally I own a Yamaha P515, and it is better, bit also 4 times the price. For a friend who is a beginner I now made sure we got him an FP 10 as his first proper Digital piano. Key action is all that matters in my world and while the built in speakers are meh, the sound you get in your headphones from the FP10 is honestly almost too good for this price range. Legendary Roland sound engine at work here. I kinda want one as my second piano now
I certainly agree with the sentiment! The Roland FP10 offers incredible value! I tend to prioritize key action as well when choosing a digital piano, so, from that perspective, it is hard to compete with the FP10 and its PHA4 action. :)
This digital piano was everything I needed. Action is good, I love its simplicity and the only output I need is MIDI over USB and Bluetooth. I am not interested in any other sounds, effects, songs etc. As a matter of fact, I am currently using it mostly as a MIDI controller with software piano samplers and emulators (mostly Steinway and C Bechstein). Great review
Just if you don't mind, are the speakers good enough? I've heard mixed thoughts on them.
@@thatsfinn Which speakers do you mean? If I use FP-10 as a MIDI controller, I do not use FP-10 sound system at all. It is computer with Pianoteq, DAC and my home (high end) audio system. I do not think that any piano coating less than $5000 would have better speakers than I have. By the way, I replaced FP-10 with Roland A-88 mkII MIDI controller (mostly because of problems with FP-10 sustain pedal
@@mfurman Ahh ok I was referring to the inbuilt speakers. Thanks.
@@thatsfinn You are welcome. I still believe that FP-10 is a great product. It has everything one really needs and can be easily turned into great piano with proper software, amplification and speakers, if needed!
That’s exactly what I was looking to use this for. Honestly makes me wonder if they make midi only with similar qualities such as this piano. I never use the sounds from the keyboard.
So happy with mine - incredible action (I can play it all night) and a lovely selection of piano sounds (all good). And the new Roland Piano App (2023) is really fantastic and makes using the instrument a pleasure, although, personally, I love the 'keyboard' shortcuts (to transpose - function and 2/3/4/5 presses on the appropriate key to transpose up or down - so simple - compared with a 'traditional' keyboard where you have to go into a 'menu', then find 'transpose', and only THEN press buttons up or down to do the transposing).
That is awesome! Congrats on your Roland FP10! They are amazing instruments and one of the best cost-to-value offerings on the market in my opinion. Enjoy! :)
Lately I've been spending hours and hours researching the best piano action midi controller I could get without breaking the bank, have watched hundreds of YT reviews and read about a million Amazon reviews 😜
What I've found it seems I have to spend upwards of $1k for a dedicated midi controller to get a keybed as nice as this. I don't need faders, knobs and DAW transport controls...
This video and your comments about the action sealed the deal for me, have one coming in a day or two. And it definitely a nice bonus with the sounds and speakers for when I just want to practice, win-win!
Thanks for tuning in! We're very glad to hear that the video was helpful in your decision making process. I agree that you would be hard-pressed to find a better piano action in this price category. That is one of the things that makes the Roland FP10 an attractive options as a MIDI controller as well (especially if you do not require the extra DAW transport controls as you've stated). Thanks again and enjoy your FP10 when it arrives! :)
@@MerriamPianos I got it yesterday and I'm pretty blown away how good it is. Have in mind I'm a guitarist that just dabbles on keys, but still, the bang-for-buck here is off the charts.
TBH, if Roland offered this with a pitch and mod wheel, man it would sell a lot!
important to mention that while you can record stuff with it, it won't actually give you "recordings", so you can't just convert to mp3 and download or something without additional equipment.
i own the fp-10 and in my opinion , you really can get a good amount of range and expression out of it i'm so impressed and i even have the Yamaha p 255 and it's not much better so i might stick with Roland for a long time
The FP-10 is a total beast for the price, no doubt about it Nick. If piano tone and touch are the priorities for you, I agree - stick to the FP10 until you could move (or want to move) up to something like the FP90, RD2000 or DP603 (in the Roland Line). Or Kawai side, I'd say the CN29 would be another to investigate for future - although I know it's not portable. Thanks for all the comments! -stu
Merriam Music yeah man of course the P255 has more features but what I care is all about the feel the sound and the quality
@@Gearsandco Hi Nick, so in your opinion, FP10 has better key action and sound connection than the P255?...
@@MerriamPianos Hi friends, is FP10 key action faster and less bouncy than the FP30 key action?, is sound in FP10 more balanced than the FP30 sound module?, is 96 notes enough even for layers in FP10 against 128 notes in FP30?... Thanks!...
Fer De Armas Well the key action feels really good and I think it fits way better than the P255 maybe the p255 has a more durable action or last more in that regards anyway I cannot complain for the price I’m still really impressed And the appetence action was in the flagship Roland RD800
Awesome!!! Your explanation was much better than all others fromthe Internet! Thank you so much! Your Brazilian Fan!
Hello Stu, first of all thank you for your reviews. I'm going through that fase, the very first one where I'm gathering info before ordering my very first digital piano and very much due to your reviews and back to back comparisons I've decided to go with the FP-10. So this morning I've placed the order but, because there's a world full of people out there who seemingly had the same idea, the FP-10 is estimated to take a couple of weeks to arrive. In the meantime I went on reading about it in forums and....a Pandora's box has been opened! Apparently there's a bunch of people out there sitting at home with new, semi new and old digital pianos ("funny" enough, a lot of FP-10's among them) with keys that make clicking/clunking noises all over the place. Is this something I should expect to happen in a near future right after receiving my new piano? Should I be scared here? Appreciate your thoughts on this please. Cheers from the Netherlands
Did the clicking happen to your piano?
My husband 😍
Lol
Great video! You are the best piano reviewer on RUclips! So natural
Thanks for the compliment! Always good to get positive feedback :) - Stu
Ahhhhh my dream piano :
And suddenly...10:01: swing your head boys! 👍🏼... go Stu!!
Pro organist here. I've been through a couple brands of practice pianos in Yamaha 170, 970 and Kawai CA65 but I must say having got my Roland FP10 a few weeks ago that the authentic acoustic touch has been nothing short of a revelation at this price point.
Despite being several times cheaper than the aforementioned pianos (when new), its touch is incomparably better and the sampled Steinway D sounds great through headphones too...
The only downside is the limited functionality of Piano Partner 2 app with the FP10 as I was expecting it to come with the full reportoire of 394 pieces as on the higher Roland models.
Even so, I've been so impressed with FP10 as a practice instrument that I'm now considering the GP3 as well instead of a Yamaha CLP GP.
That is awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing your experiences with the FP10! I definitely agree with the sentiment. It is an incredible piano for its price point. The PHA4 action is exceptional. It is quite impressive that Roland has been able to offer this level of action at this price point. Thanks again and happy playing! :)
Great piano, Great explanation!
So, basically the back USB can be used with a cable to connect to a PC into a DAW? That would be great!
You are awesome! Thank you for your great reviews
Amazing review ... its interesting how i found this video only after i purchased it, convincing myself through other reviews, comparisons and reading... 🤷🏻♂️... by the way, its the best review so far i have viewed, pointing the essentials and the most relevant things about these beauties FP-10. ($$)
Thank you so much! Congrats on your FP10! It is a wonderful piano. :)
How do you record the piano?
Would love to get this over my P45
Great playing, outstanding demo.
Thanks for tuning in! I'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Stu for you. :)
I’ve got the FP-10. Best action and feel of the keys of any similarly priced model I tried and I use it primarily as a MIDI controller. Perfect.
Some people say that black keys are a bit too clicky on release. It is true?
Hey, I have a question about using it for a midi controller. How do you connect it to your pc? Is it with a usb cable or totally wireless? And also, is the cable included when you buy the piano or do you need a seperate one?
Can you record midi when the piano is connected to the computer? (with the right software)
@@elthpiano Absolutely. You can connect to the computer via MIDI USB cable and then play VSTi's either standalone or in a DAW to record the MIDI performance.
Subscribed! You are the best
the most complete review and demo video
It must be a brand new Grand Piano with a lot of features and sounds 😊
The FP10 is a bit more a streamlined model, but it has a wonderful touch and tone. If you're looking for a great digital instrument without a ton of bells and whistles, it is an excellent choice. :)
I am going to look for you for some jazz piano lessons... Lovely and expressive playing there...
Very good review! Thanks...
I'm sure that if this keyboard had pitch bend and modulation wheels, thousands of home studio owners would be buying it.
I think that is a very fair assumption! ;)
I wish someone would do a side by side comparison of the FP-10 and the FP-30X (not the older FP30). Cannot find any comparison between the piano tone on these or the FP-10 against the FP-60X.
Thanks for the suggestion! We will do our best to tackle those comparisons for you. With that said, we have done individual review videos of all of those models, so, if you jump between the videos, hopefully, you'll get a good impression of the specific tonal differences between them. :)
@@MerriamPianos Thanks! I've been switching between videos but to hear a comparison (via Line-outs) of both side by side would definitely be worthwhile. I haven't come across anyone else that's done that. Whilst you would expect the FP-10 to sound the same as the older FP-30, I have a feeling it won't as it was released much later. As also mentioned in a previous comment, the user service manual for the FP-10 appears to indicate a BMC chip. ☺️
Can i load Songs from the Internet and then let the FP-10 play it? Over Bluetooth?
Beautiful review and performance. Great job!
My first Piano :)
sorry i want to ask, is this piano good and quality? sorry if it disturbs
@@yesikurniasih9059 I think this piano is a good beginner piano. I like how it sounds and how it feels. The sounds are a bit low in the headset with different touch sensitivity. The built-in speakers are under the piano which is a bit annoying if you gonna put the piano over the table. It has the function like string resistance and the Half-Pedaling which is a good function that comes with roland- Roland dp-10 which I highly recommend buying with the piano, because the pedal that comes with the piano itself sucks.
Over all it is a good piano "highly recommend" 9/10 :D
@@Jin0069 Thank you, so Roland FP10 piano is highly recommended, thanks for the answer
@Thi Vo Truong
For me it is quite normal
Great review.
Guess that decides it! fp10 won me over from korg b2.
there appears to be some clicking noise issue with the fp10, you can look it up online
I'm on my 5th FP10. Has yours started clicking yet?
@@Pe6ek Excuse me, you mean you've returned it four times because of the clicking?
Price is now 899? I'm in Hamilton and I like to buy it, can I pay online and pick it up in the store? Thank you
Unfortunately the Bluetooth Connection does not work at all with my android phone so i have to use the usb port
THIS IS A SCAM! if you look in the reflection, you can see the real world. Tim is actually sitting at a grand piano
made my day. thanks for the joke
Does he honestly not know that's a window w a piano on the other side or is this a joke? In the modern world, it's hard to be sure.
I lolled.
Got shocked at first only to realize its a joke. 🤣
Damn I thought I was the only one
Hi. Surprisingly, I can connect my FP10 to the Piano Designer app.
I wonder myself this: when I save an edition from the app directly to the piano, on which FP10 preset is stored? Piano 1,2,3 or 4? Could you help me clearing this, please? Thanks a lot
What’s the current best action for vst under $1000 ?
As a beginner I’m going straight in at a FP 90x or a RD 2000
Many aspiring piano players make the jump to a higher-end piano right off the hop. It is not a bad idea at all if budget permits. A more rewarding musical experience will often provide greater inspiration! :)
My FP 10 arrived today. My first impression is that the sounds of the pianos are mildly disappointing: ok-ish for a secondary keyboard, but they do not have the clarity of an acoustic piano. Of the four piano sounds, I think I prefer the fourth one. I liked the harpsichord though. The action is pretty good, if a little heavy.
The standard pedal is not so great. Roland^s SP 10 pedal (more that twice the price of alternative sustain pedals) is supposed to give half pedal functionality, but I understand that the FP 10 only supports a literal 50% pedal effect rather than a graded response. At some point I shall want a better pedal so would be interested in what others have used.
Hi! Brent here! I'm sorry to hear you were a bit disappointed with the FP10's piano sound. While the speakers aren't particularly powerful, I have found the headphone experience and direct lineout sound to be quite impressive. You can always try running the piano through an amplifier to enhance the sonic experience. Also, the upgraded DP10 pedal is a very worthwhile investment for anyone that does a lot of nuanced pedal work. Thanks for sharing your insights and all the best!
@@MerriamPianos Thank you for your prompt reply and your suggestions. I am hoping to tweak and brighten up the sound a bit from the apps, once I have installed them. I doubt even the best electronic pianos can really mimic the acoustic experience. I did warm to the first harpsichord: I played a few of Bach's Goldberg variations and liked the sound it produced.
I expect I shall have to get the DP 10 pedal - I am doubtful there is an alternative.
how do i record audio if the only output is audio jack for headphone
The jack size is irrelevant in terms of signal. All you need a cable or adapter to go from 1/8” TRS to 1/4” TRS. Or some computers come with an 1/8” input which you can probably record directly into. Alternatively, you can use the bluetooth record function. From there, you can probably export the MIDI or even record the audio playback in a number of ways. Just spend some time trying different things. There’s probably a number of videos about it.
Can you do a review for a KORG B series...?
Thank you for this review.
Just bought mine today. Great review and I love your playing
Where did you but it?
@@juliotabamo1898 I’m in the UK. I bought it from a supplier online.
@@Hedgehogsinthemist123 Its out of stock everywhere, you're lucky
@@juliotabamo1898 Is it? I bought a bundle. Keyboard, stand, stool, pedal and cover. All for under £600 delivered. Excellent value for money.
@@juliotabamo1898 I bought it from a site called muziker
does the FP10 have line outputs? can you connect external speakers?
Hi there! While there are no line outs, you could use the headphone out as a line out. So, from that perspective, you could technically connect external speakers. :)
hopefully soon you also review the roland lx 700 and hp 700 series.....thank you very much
Can you adjust the individual volumes of the layered sounds? Real time?
I don't believe you can adjust the volumes of the layered sounds onboard the piano in real time unfortunately.
is the DP 10 continuous with the FP-10 .Im reading its only continuous with FP-30 and above and that its not sending continuous midi values to garritan or pianoteq and is only sending 3 midi values for the pedal :(
Hi there! According to Roland's website, the DP10 is capable of half-pedal support when being used in conjunction with the FP10.
@@MerriamPianos Excellent ! Thank you
Besides the fp 10 what other option is there for getting the best action for the dollar? I really dont care about any feature rather than a good acoustic piano sound, great action and the sustained pedal. Thanks!!
To be entirely honest, from an action standpoint, the FP10 is very difficult to compete with at this price point. It truly is one of, if not, the best actions in this price category.
@@MerriamPianos Thanks a lot Stu!
I'm looking for my first piano as a beginner... I've been looking at the Casio px 160 ... would you choose the Roland fp 10 over the Casio ????
I have got this piano (fp10) for 7 months now and I can tell you that is fantastic... no problem at all and super real action and feel. I dont think you can find something better than this at this price. Really recomended over the casio.
From everything ive heard you really cant beat the fp10 at it's price. I just ordered it and its gunna be my first piano! Wish you all the luck on your new journey my dude.
I got the FP-10 after comparing to the PX160. The Casio is great and has more features... BUT... in my opinion, the piano is tinny and decays way too quickly. Plus, the action gets clickety-clackety (by this I mean loud... Google to see people's complaints) If you're using this instrument as a piano primarily, I can't recommend the FP-10 enough.
@@MrVara411 The PHA-4 action is no different in the clicking I find. How is yours doing?
Hi I am able to find this FP-10 bundle and the FP-30 keyboard only. Which one should I get for my 11 year old son?Thank you i advance
How many songs can be recorded in piano partner? Pls answer. I am considering to buy this piano vs kawai es110.
Does es110 has feature to record song in Android?
Thanks Stu
Can this bluetooth conection be used with external speakers?
No, the Bluetooth is MIDI only, not Audio-over-Bluetooth. You'd have to use a physical cable to attach an external speaker. Thanks for the question! -stu
Could i use it for live performances as a church for instance?
not with the internal speakers, they arent very powerful
I want to get into hiding a DAW, as well as learning to play piano "properly". Would this hook up to a Mac running logic or a similar daw?
Hi there! Yup! The FP10 has a USB connection, which allows you to use it as a MIDI controller and in conjunction with DAWs.
thanks @@MerriamPianos
I WANT IT
How about Bluetooth connectivity? Is it possible to stream some midi-sound from iPad to the FB-10 and accompany with piano-sound?
The FP10 does not have Bluetooth connectivity. You can plug it into a device with a USB connector and use it as a MIDI controller that way. Thanks for the question! :)
Hello and thank you for your answer
On the homepage of roland, it says that it has bluetooth. It also says that on the dealer pages.
This seems to depend on the region.
Here in Switzerland, the FP-10 is currently available for CHF 360 (approx. USD 325)
Please, can you write the name of the first app?
can you tell me to which speakers the fp10 is connected because the sound is much better than through my headphones sennheiser hd400s
Thanks for tuning in! The sound was captured via a direct line out from the headphone output. :)
but the sound must have been recorded by a source that produces the sound, these must be speakers, I want to know which speakers@@MerriamPianos
what i care about is the piano sound quality and the key action. nothing more nothing less.
@Thinh Tran i have a casio previa 350 bk. it has excellent piano sound quality like an acoustic piano (or closer). i love the weighted keys and the ivory simulated finished. also it has a powerful speakers. it rocks the piano at full volume. CONS: the keys has a bit louder mechanical sound when press strongly. sadly now, the C2, C2 sharp was damaged. it has a weird pulsating sound when press. i was very dismayed and i put a tape on it so that its not press. i bring it at a local shop for repairs. the technician told showed me the defective IC. unfortunately he promised to fixed it, but just promises. its in the shop for more than a year until i recover it back. the power adapter was destroyed and the free pedal was lost. buy a piano brand that has good customer service and keep the receipt as long as you owned the piano. im opting for this device.
i have a roland RS-5 (2001 model). its ok up to now until it was wet due to rain. try the casio ctx models it has the best sound in its category, but the keys are not weighted. i owned a casio ctx700.
Kord D1 vs Roland FP10, which is the winner and why?...
Is fp10 still a great one to buy in 2023? Could anyone give me a comparison with yamaha p145 that just came out. Thanks
I’ve tried both and definitely I would prefer Roland FP-10 over the Yamaha P-145. Mainly because of the key response and tone
Hi there! The FP10 is still an excellent buy and our top selling digital piano under $1000. Personally, I would prefer it over the P145 and many other models at this price point because the FP10's PHA4 action provides an excellent, authentic-feeling touch. :)
I cant them online. Anyone got a link to where i can buy?
I cannot find the Roland FP-10 anywhere for sale. it has been replaced by the somewhat cheaper Roland go:88 which isn't as good from what I can tell. any suggestions? I wanted to get into playing the piano and the Roland fp-10 was perfect for me.
Same ive was so upset to hear that it was discontinued. I would suggest settling for a yamaha p-71/p-45
i need help i just bought fp10 and was playing no problem and i pressed something and now hammer action doesnt work meaning, that its not sensitive to touch when i press key its max sound doesnt matter how hward i press
Hmmm that is strange. You FP10 should still be covered under warranty, so I'm sure the dealer you purchased from will help get things resolved for you. Best of luck!
Can you play the keyboard thru Bluetooth speakers
2 months late but yes
I have an "FP-10 ACR" and ive been trying to get bluetooth to work for like the past 30 minutes but no sign of anything
I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the Bluetooth. It is important to note that the FP10 is only able to transmit MIDI information via Bluetooth. Bluetooth audio or Bluetooth headphones are not possible with the FP10.
Do the black keys also have a texture like the white keys?
No, the PHA-4 features a simulated ivory texture on the white keys, but not on the black keys. Thanks and all the best! :)
@@MerriamPianos Thanks. Those are the worst culprits for me.
Does the FP10 have a sixties organ a la The Doors? This is very important for me
The FP10 does have some additional sounds, including organ and electric piano. :)
@@MerriamPianos thanks but is it the real sixties sound?
I thought my phone suddenly hang up on 11:53 because there’s suddenly a cut up😆
Yep, we had to do a quick cut because the iPad died 😂. Always remember to plug in your devices before filming :)
Same here
I just purchased this for my daughters. Can this be connected to a Bluetooth headphone?
no. bluetooth headphones doesnt work with any piano on the market rightnow.doesnt matter how much you pay. even 20.000 dollar pianos doesnt have that. reason is latency
how do you tranpose on this?
Transposition can be achieved by holding the "Function" button and pressing the key that is labelled above the keyboard as "+1/-1 Transpose."
Can you save the piano partner recordings?
Yes
It costs 899 in canada now. Hefty jump. Is it still the best at that price point?
I think you will still be very hard pressed to find a better piano action for under $1000. It really as an incredibly touch given its price point. :)
Roland FP10 or Kawai ES110?
FP30 is not an option since it costs a lot more than the FP10 here in the Philippines. FP10 and ES110 have the same price here.
Here, the FP10 and ES110 cost ₽35,000 and the FP30 costs ₽43,000 so the difference is around 157 USD.
One important factor for me is overall durability (hardware quality).
I know the ES110 has twice the max polyphony but I'm wondering if this is a big issue.
I'm not a piano pro and I'll be using the DP mostly for giving voice lessons.
For voice lessons, if you had a stereo or an amplifier, I would say that it's down to your own preference of touch and tone. Both have great actions! But if you were hoping to use it on its own just with internal speakers, the ES110 is going to give you a bigger, deeper sound. I also personally find the ES110 piano tone to be a bit more authentic and warm.
Merriam Music Just bought an FP-10. So happy with it! 😄
@@dannyvicencio hey I heard that the Roland fp10 keys are a bit noisy, they produce clicking sounds. Is that true?
@@pianoenthusiast6649 nope not for me :)
@@dannyvicencio well that's nice. I was hesitating to buy it because of this problem
Can the piano fp-10 be a big concert?
Huh?
Since it supports MIDI function, I guess I could make drum beats and basses with this piano right?
@Mitsi Grabblerberg yep I do know what's a MIDI, just curious as I've never seen people using a digital piano to create beats etc. I was thinking to get the FP-10 because I'm a piano player and wanted a hammer action board to do pretty much everything for me, but I get another piano in the end last month.
I have this
Congrats! The FP10 is a very solid piano! :)
fp 10 or 30 for beginner?
30 is better but if Its too expensive def 10
So, Bluetooth Audio??
LOL @ Pressing the fucktion, ahem Function button.....LOL
Who are yoU)?Youre playing wonderfull!!!Shock!

Commenting here for notifications. I'm planning on buying either of those two too.

I'm in the same situation. I will go with the FP-10 mainly because of the textured keys and the key action in general. It's on a another level. I just hope they have fixed the "clicky keys" issue by now.
MusicMan yeah do it. FP 10 is the better choice.
Its not loud???
The FP10's speaker system is not particularly loud or powerful, but the fidelity is quite good. It is more than adequate for at home practice. :)
Giveaway please 😁
in India we dont get bluetooth function,,, why roland y ???
3rd world country
I have It after a few months .The Key very nose
Hi Stu! Some people keep spamming about clicky keys. Isnt this 'clicky' problem comes with a new one when u buy it? Or they always uses to lubricate the keys before sending it?
You have to take it apart and fix it yourself. They all get loud clicky keys after a short period of time.
If you connect the Roland FP-10 to a computer or phone, can you record midi on it? (with the correct software of course)
Please answer :)
yes you can
Hi, is the recording of the music in app good and clear enough?? And is it in mp4 format or other??
I own a fp-10 and if you're talking about the recording in app, you connect your phone to your piano via app, create an account, and everything you do you can replay on the app, whether it's a key press etc. As soon as you press a key it records it and a few seconds later the audio is available. The recording isnt recorded via microphone, its recorded via what the app knows you pressed, so the sound quality is perfect and like if you were hearing it yourself for the first time, without any background noise as the app itself creates the sound based on what you played.
@@gamez4glory799 would you advice me the Roland fp10 than yamaha p45?
@@love-nsky I honestly believe the fp-10 is worth it, the keys have a nice ivory feel, according to what others have explained it's the best in class for the price in terms of future switching to an acoustic piano. It sounds great in my opinion, isnt as portable as you might think It is (though it is definitely portable). Its just not like carry it around portable, I dont know if that matters but I'd just like to let you know that there is definitely some weight to it. The app while useful and it does include some songs, you cant add songs you want to learn and the ones on there are fairly complex for beginners, the app can train you to know your keys in note form , and spit out the sound of the key and you click on the note, also record your music through it, and change a lot of piano sounds and settings on there, but that's about it. Basically if you're looking for a piano, though this might be a bit expensive compared to the other cheaper options, it does pack a lot of things and I still do firmly believe that I picked the right piano two months ago.
@@gamez4glory799 would you recommend it over p125 keeping in mind the fact that p125 has same action as that of p45 along with some extra onboard functionality. I'm a beginner and I've heard that Yamaha's action is shit ,what I'm worried about is the build quality of fp 10 is it solid?
@@pranjalkumar272 The keys do definitely feel solid, and the general build quality is good. Its made out of hard dense plastic that isn't meant to chip off or feel hallow. Its definitely got some weight to it, though i wouldn't worry about it falling apart as mine still looks like new after keeping it clean and stationary. The build quality of the keys are great, the plastic itself will not fall apart and doesn't get fingerprints on it too much due to its finish. Its definitely not made out of metals, though it works and doesnt feel like its cheap
699? How much IS this in US Dollar?
I believe the FP10 sells for $599 USD these days. :)
Has anyone here conectes this to an amplifier? What kind of cable?
Hi! Brent here! You can take a 1/4" patch cable from the headphone output and run it into an amplifier or PA system. :)
"Remarkably easy to set up bluetooth...I'll show you how to set it up...actually I use a different app...and it's already set up, but if it wasn't you would just tap it and boom."
You sound like you know what you're doing, but I'm completely lost at how you actually set up the bluetooth since it seems like it was already set up on your end and you're just reconnecting it
Hi Zach! Brent from Merriam Music here! We actually have a video fully-dedicated to connecting Roland pianos via Bluetooth. You can check it out here:

Thanks for tuning and hope this helps! :)
Where’s the rating?
Hi, thank you very much for watching and for catching that! Yes, when we filmed this review, we were going to assign a numerical rating to the instrument, but since these opinions on the sound, action, design etc. are so subjective, we decided not to proceed with an actual rating, and instead focus on sharing as much information as possible with our viewers. We will be sure to be more clear with all future reviews. Thanks again for watching and we're glad you are enjoying our reviews :)
Merriam Music thanks!! Plenty of detail to make a decision!
Does it have a reverb button (for the Grand Piano) ?
HABLEN MENOS.
QUEREMOS ESCUCHAR EL APARATO
What is the price? Because I need one (its an emergency). My money situation isn't good. I'm earning the much money I can. I need help to have this piano. I like it very much. Please help me. I'm studying Popular Music in College🥺
Way to basic for myself. Love Roland but not this one.
