- Japanese music gear titan Roland is celebrating 50 years in business this year, and has combined the timeless beauty of wood with cutting-edge digital technology for its latest party piece – the 50th Anniversary Concept Model Piano.
- Though the early 1980s will forever be linked with the launch of the mighty TR-808 drum machine, Roland also released a 61-key portable piano with integrated speakers and an analog drum machine called the EP-11.
- Sadly, the 50th Anniversary Concept Model Piano will not enter production, but folks are being given the opportunity to “get past the digital and acoustic concept and enjoy the natural performance and beauty purely as a piano” as it embarks on a global tour as part of Roland’s half-century celebrations.
