For well over 100 years now, the grand piano has been the centerpiece of many fine rooms. Of course, owning one simply wasn’t a reality for many folks due to the size, maintenance, and cost. While digital versions of the grand piano have existed now for quite a few years, many examples offered a subpar musical experience at best and thus weren’t regarded as a convincing alternative to a grand piano. That’s where Roland’s GP series comes in.

The GP series consists of two digital grand piano models – the GP607 and the larger GP609. The GP607 shares many features with the GP609, but is housed in a smaller, mini grand piano cabinet that still manages to serve up a highly authentic musical experience. Digital piano technology has come an enormous way in the last decade, and the GP607 features some of the most advanced technology currently available. The GP607 sounds and feels so realistic that many folks who never would have considered a digital piano are now discovering that their dream of owning a baby grand piano can now be realized at a lower cost with far less maintenance, without sacrificing much in the way of musical potential.

Given the addition of Bluetooth technology, the Roland GP607 digital grand piano also effectively doubles as a high-end stereo system. With the click of a button, you can stream high-quality audio from your smartphone or tablet through the GP607’s premium speaker system. Whether you’re playing along with your favorite song, relaxing after a long day, or entertaining guests, the Bluetooth functionality adds a whole new dimension of versatility to the traditional piano experience.

Notable Features

While there’s a lot of different things that could go here, we’ve got to commend Roland for using real polyester on all of their polished piano finishes. Not all manufacturers do this for their high gloss finishes, as it’s quite a bit more expensive. What this means is that the cabinet is finished to the same standard as many acoustic grand pianos, so the longevity and durability as a furniture piece are top-notch.
