Roland LX-5DR Digital Piano - Dark Rosewood

The Roland LX-5 is the new entry-level model of the LX series digital pianos. With a beautiful tall cabinet, high-end wooden keyboard, refreshing design and inspiring sound, this is everything you would expect from a high-end piano. Roland has revamped almost everything about the LX-5, making the playing experience more refined than ever before! The LX-5 comes in Charcoal Black, Polished Ebony, Dark Rosewood and Light Oak colours.

Design

At first glance, the Roland LX-5 has a recognisable design that we have often seen from the Japanese brand. Traditionally at its Rolands, the LX-5 has a beautiful high cabinet of no less than 104cm high. The music desk is also neatly incorporated into the cabinet itself. This makes it one of the few digital pianos in its price range that exactly resembles a real upright in size and feel! Still, when we start looking at the details, a lot has changed. For instance, the LX-5 has been given sharper lines for a more modern and fresh look. Also, the buttons are now incorporated under the lacquer, and only light up when you want to operate the piano. This makes the piano look even more real, and ensures less distraction while playing. In short: we can definitely call the LX-5 modern and realistic!

Hybrid keyboard and sound

Roland has gone all out with this new LX-5. They have used the acclaimed PHA-50 keyboard for this model. This keyboard with wooden core and ivory finish has a key length that is almost the same as an acoustic one. This makes the playing experience realistic and comfortable, exactly what a pianist is looking for!

For the audio, Roland has also looked at innovation. The new Piano Reality Projection sound system with 4 speakers, is supported by powerful audio components and audio processing techniques that make the sound come across as true to life. Just like hearing a real soundboard! Of course, when it comes to true-to-life sound, the piano sample itself is also very important. That's why Roland has put a new sound generator in the LX-5: the Piano Reality Modelling sound engine. This engine contains a large number of varied grand pianos designed with the most advanced techniques. So you will always have a piano sound that fits well with the piano piece you are playing.

Connectivity and smartphone capabilities

The Roland LX-5 has state-of-the-art ways of connectivity. So of course it comes with 2 headphone jacks, a line-out and an input. But it also has access to USB and bluetooth 5.0! This allows you to very easily connect your phone or tablet to the piano, and enjoy the numerous different apps that can make playing the piano a bit more fun. Roland also has its own app with which you can control and set up the piano, as well as learn theory and play games which is an ideal way for children to learn notes!

In short: The Roland LX-5 is truly one of the most complete digital pianos on the market. With a realistic keyboard, excellent piano sounds, a high-quality design and the latest functions and features makes it the ideal living room/study piano for the discerning player!
