Roland FP-7F Reviews

1) “The FP7F is probably a bit heavy for gigging”

I am very pleased with the FP7F. Sound and action about as good as it gets.
Nice speakers.Not really sure how useful the “session partner” is.
I would have preferred some nice auto-accompaniments instead (just sold
my Tyros 3 to return to a proper piano….sorry Tyros !).

I had a Yamaha P80 before and still think these are really good for the
price (about £300 second hand).To be honest,if a mint P80 had come up first,
I would have gone for it but I thought it time to have a new piano.

The FP7F is probably a bit heavy for gigging so I bet I buy a P80 as well
when one comes up….almost as good as the Roland for a fifth of the price.

Apparently some P80 keys kept breaking but Yamaha will replace free (?)
if you ask nicely. That’s the rumour, anyway.

2) “Lacking in punch”

The FP-7F is lacking in punch (power).  An upgrade in the output would greatly
enhance its attractiveness.  I also feel it is time that a dust cover of some
kind be provided as part of the package. I personally would not have objected
to paying a bit more for those features. Perhaps they both can be addded as
an option to the basic unit.

Hi Graham

I have read your piano guide leaflet and it is brilliant so informative.
I am now in a quandery. Yamaha P155 Roland FP-4F or Roland FP-7F I just can’t decide…
Any help gratefully received.

Thanks
Maggie

Reply/ Hi Maggie

Well, the main reason the FP-7F is priced higher
than the FP-4F is due to its superior key touch.
It feels firmer and slightly more responsive.

Other than that, the differences are only slight.

So if key touch is a major factor for you then
I recommend going for the FP-7F… you’ll
enjoy playing it so much more.

Between the Roland FP-4F and Yamaha P155 I
give the edge to the Roland. This is mainly because
of the piano sound. It just sounds rounder, and
slightly less bright than the Yamaha.

Yours pianistically,

Graham Howard
