The Roland GP-3 Compact Digital Grand Piano is a cost-effective and accessible option for those who want a grand piano in their homes. It combines traditional grand piano aesthetics with the streamlined form of digital instruments. With a depth of only 70cm, it can fit conveniently into your space like an upright piano. Its curved design and glossy black finish give it the class and elegance of a grand piano while taking up less space and weighing less.
Roland’s expertise and experience are evident in the GP-3. Every aspect of this piano is designed to deliver the most authentic sound and feel possible. Controlling the piano is easy, thanks to the accessible control panel that allows you to adjust the volume and other settings. Additionally, the piano offers Bluetooth audio and MIDI functionality, as well as compatibility with the Roland Piano App, which can be used with a phone or tablet.
The GP-3 provides a genuine acoustic feel, which is essential for a digital grand piano. Its 88-key Progressive Hammer Action keybed simulates the weight changes you would feel when moving from the highest notes to the bass notes, providing a realistic playing experience. The piano also features an acoustic feeling escapement mechanism that replicates the way keys release. The weighted pedals mimic the feel of a mechanical pedal system, allowing you to use the same techniques as you would with an acoustic piano, including half-damper functionality.
The piano’s integrated stereo speaker system is specially tuned to provide the best sound within its compact form. Separate 11W amplifiers for each speaker ensure a room-filling sound, while advanced sound processing technology makes the piano sound as close to an acoustic grand as possible. To enhance the realism even further, you can adjust the tone color by lifting the lid to different positions, just like with a real grand piano.
The GP-3 is enhanced with technology that seamlessly integrates with its design. It offers Bluetooth audio functionality, allowing you to stream music to the piano’s speaker system for your own enjoyment or as a backing track. You can also wirelessly send MIDI to your computer to control software synths and instruments. The piano features USB connectivity for MIDI and audio, and it also has a USB port for saving and loading data using memory sticks.
The piano’s connectivity extends to the Roland Piano App, which can be used on a smartphone or tablet to enhance your GP-3 experience. The app allows you to select sounds, browse the onboard music library, and access scores to play along with. It also offers learning features such as goal setting, rhythm games, and a One Week Master Program that guides you through learning pieces.
In terms of specifications, the GP-3 has a maximum polyphony of 256 voices and offers 15 tones. It features a keyboard with 88 keys, progressive hammer action with escapement and ivory feel, and weighted pedals for damper, soft, and sostenuto functions. The piano has a fixed-angle music rest, a slide-type keyboard cover, and five types of fixed touch sensitivity. It also offers various effects, internal and recordable songs, Bluetooth connectivity, and app compatibility.
The piano comes with an AC adaptor and power cord, and it also includes an owner’s manual, stand assembly instructions, and safety instructions. Its dimensions and weight are dependent on whether the top is open or closed.
