I am a 55 y.o. from America who just started taking piano lessons in May '17. I truly appreciate your reviews and how you share your valuable insights in your videos.
I am singer and composer of Indian Style Songs. I am looking for digital piano with world sounds and tones. How can I get? Now I am using Roland KR3 digital Piano and Roland EA7 Arranger Keyboard. Please reply as early as possible. Thanks.
It's going in the right direction! I hope the next generation will have EVERYTHING good. I will keep my hp605 for now. I also feel the 700 series is not sweet enough. Maybe the next generation will have the real raving reviews. Not just bright and brilliant but very sweet too, and more control of touch, like a real ideal steinway.
@@tudor33 Even LX-7, LX-17 would've been good upgrade if you play on speakers. New LX700 series is even more of an upgrade. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get one of the new LX.
@@PianoMichal I'm in the same boat as you! I just hope ( and it seems like that is the case ) that they fixed the muddy mid-range of the pianos. The new ones seem better, and the ambience modeling though, I always thought that 6xx series lack a proper reverb, which is very audible on recordings... wooden hall ambience or cathedral sound great! I really hope I'll get the LX 708 next year :) unless you have space for a decent grand piano ( 10k+ euro ), I think rolands beat any acoustic uprights in terms of sound if you want the full sound of a piano...
Ivan Fran Officia None of them are pure wood. The white keys are made of wood and plastic, and the black keys are full plastic. But dont think its a bad thing, I own a HP603 with the previous PHA-50 Roland action which is also available on Lx705 and its just a compact action without the long pivot found on LX706/708, and it feels incredible, very smooth and responsive keys. I just can imagine how great this new improvement feels... you should definitely give it a try.
Ivan Fran Officia I respect your opinion. Just bought my Roland without trying it first, cause in my country its very difficult to find a digital piano showroom, and even worse to find a good- priced Kawai piano. I've always heard good things about Kawai, but made my choice based in an extensive search of reviews and price. Basically, I had only three options in 2016: Yamaha CLP 545(Not the best Yamaha action on the market) Roland HP 603(Best Roland key action available in that moment) or Kawai ES8(Pure plastic keys keys). The Roland had the best price and features in comparison with these other brands, thats why I bought the HP 603, and Im very satisfied with it. Anyway, in the end the best action depends of what feels better to you. You think Kawai got the best key action, some people likes Yamaha, yet another one may prefer Roland... thats just personal taste! They both are great in their own way.

This gentleman is really good, a cut above other presenters ☝️☝️☝️
I like the new piano sounds and would like to hear them live. However, I am more interested in a portable version of this series, replacing the FP-90.
Very thorough and detailed.
Have no idea about its action quality, but that phsical vibration feature on 708 sounds cool. Piano sound generator is fantastic for sure.
Much love
Why does nobody record the sound using mics?
At the moment I play a Yamaha clp 635, that I’m thinking of changing!! is the Roland 704 better than the Yamaha 700 series please?

We want this model!
Roland's We Design The Future is always awesome. Thank you for sharing your beautiful piano playing to the ears, too.
Can you adjust the volume on the layers independently?
Yes i have the piano myself
You made one mistake- new damper pedal technology is avaible only on LX 708.
So, should we replace our hp 605? :)))

@@tudor33 Best of luck to you then. I hope you can get it as soon as possible :)
@@PianoMichal thank you!! the same to you as well
It has a beautiful sound, but I never liked the look of an upright.
a funny question-
is all the playing improvised?
are all 88 keys made of wood or just white?

@@Thiago-px9ev i tryed kawai action and it feels amazing roland is not bad but for me kawai win

definetly agree acually i tryed kawai for the 1. time..... but i like roland too. i am waiting for full 88 wooden keys
Ivan Fran Officia You should try the new Yamaha GrandTouch action available on CLP 675/685, or the Casio-Bechstein Celviano Grand Hybrid.
Imagine the revolution when quantum computing kick ins.... in 200 years there willnot be anything in nature we cant simulate and model.
itsflatandlevel which is why i think roland is the future for digital pianos.
Very nice review, but what's with the warbling pitch?
