10-Year Manufacturer Warranty

Every brand new Roland GP9 piano purchased from The Music Depot comes with a complimentary 10-year manufacturer-backed UK warranty upgrade, ensuring complete peace of mind for the purchaser.

To activate this extended warranty, you must register the product on the manufacturer’s website within 30 days of purchase. This warranty ensures that you can enjoy your Roland GP9 with confidence, knowing that you’re covered for any unexpected issues or defects.

Modern Elegance

The GP-9 embodies signature piano elegance with its flowing curves, solid lines, and striking high-gloss ebony and polished white finishes. Like an acoustic grand, the lid can be opened to different positions to adjust the sound character or closed to create a flat surface when not in use. Smart touch controls in the panel provide intuitive access to essential functions as needed. When you’re ready to play, you can turn off the backlighting to eliminate distractions and maintain the acoustic aesthetic.

Piano Reality

The GP-9 is built around Roland’s advanced Piano Reality approach, a sophisticated ecosystem of connected technologies comprising the sound engine, keyboard, pedals, audio components, and speakers. Each section is designed to work together flawlessly and transparently, allowing players to experience the purity of this instrument with unprecedented expression and realism.

Endlessly Inspiring Tone

Piano Reality Concert modelling leverages our latest technologies to recreate every sound-making element of an acoustic piano, putting the living response and complex tonal colours of a concert-class grand under your fingers. Modelled ambiance is integrated into the sound engine, allowing you to play in realistic spaces such as an intimate studio, spacious concert hall, or large cathedral. With unlimited polyphony, notes and resonances ring in full detail to translate every musical emotion.

Authentic Grand Playability

The Piano Reality Concert keyboard provides unbounded expression with progressive hammer action, escapement, hybrid wood/moulded key construction with Ivory Feel, and advanced acceleration sensing technology for accurate detection of the subtlest playing nuances. Fine details further elevate the feel, including long key pivot length and haptic vibration that emulates the subtle vibrations from an acoustic piano’s body. High-performance sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedals round out the authentic experience, offering weighted feel, damper modelling, and support for traditional pedal techniques.

A Full-Immersion Sound Experience

The GP-9 features the Piano Reality Concert projection sound system, where multi-channel amplification, premium audio circuitry, and advanced sonic processing come together for the ultimate full-surround piano experience. The cabinet construction, speaker placement, and lid angle have all been carefully tuned to deliver the same bold and immersive sound presentation as a concert grand in a performance hall. Notes naturally move across the immediate sound field as you play, mirroring the physical string positions on an acoustic grand’s soundboard.

Personalize the Sound and Feel

The GP-9 offers several world-class grand piano sounds that are ready to enjoy. However, if you’re an experienced player, you can dive into the onboard Piano Designer tools to further refine the tone and response for your personal touch. Adjust the string tuning and temperament, fine-tune keyboard sensitivity and duplex scaling, shape cabinet resonances, and much more.

Easy Integration with Your Wireless World

With onboard Bluetooth, you can use your favourite mobile devices with the GP-9. Stream songs from your music library through the piano’s speaker system to play along or provide background when relaxing or entertaining. You can also use Bluetooth MIDI with music production apps to wirelessly compose using the GP-9’s responsive weighted keyboard. USB ports are also available for connecting with computers and flash storage devices, providing more ways to explore your creativity and share music performances.

Roland Piano App

The Roland Piano App seamlessly extends the GP-9 experience with remote operation from your smartphone or tablet. Select sounds, control the metronome, and use the recording feature to evaluate your playing and hear where you need to improve. Browse the piano’s onboard songs and a growing range of selections on Roland Cloud, and then call up digital scores to learn them at your own pace. Motivate yourself with lesson features that include an activity log with goals, flashcard games, rhythm exercises, and a One Week Master program that guides you through learning different piano pieces.

Digital Convenience

The greatly reduced weight (169.0 kg/372.6 lb.) makes the GP-9 far easier to move than any acoustic grand, and there’s no need for professional tuning or other regular maintenance. Volume control is within easy reach, and you can connect headphones to play anytime without disturbing others. The onboard metronome and simple rhythms help develop your sense of timing during daily practice sessions. With Twin Piano mode, you can split the keyboard into two independent sections and play alongside a family member, friend, or teacher.

GP-9M: Moving Keys and More

The GP-9M offers the same elegant look and outstanding sound as the GP-9 while adding a moving key function, professional audio outputs, and a dedicated microphone input. This makes it an ideal choice for commercial establishments, performance venues, and homeowners looking for the ultimate piano entertainment showcase.
