Roland RD-08 Stage Piano

Renowned for its outstanding performance, Roland RD pianos have been the go-to choice for stage musicians worldwide since 1986, catering to everyone from casual players to professional touring artists. The RD-08 continues this esteemed legacy by offering core RD features in an affordable package, with the added flexibility of an upgrade path for expanding your instrument's capabilities as your needs evolve.

Powered by Roland's SuperNATURAL technology, the RD-08 is packed with dynamic acoustic and electric piano sounds, alongside a wide selection of organs, synths, strings, and more, all driven by the advanced ZEN-Core sound engine found in Roland's latest flagship synthesizers.

Crafted with over four decades of Roland piano expertise, the RD-08 prioritises playability with its PHA-4 88-note keyboard, featuring weighted hammer action and Ivory Feel keys for an authentic grand piano experience. Despite its innovative design elements that reduce weight without compromising performance, the RD-08 maintains best-in-class playability.

Designed with active performers in mind, the RD-08 features an efficient panel layout that keeps you focused on playing and creating. Top-level buttons provide quick access to sound selection, transpose, and other functions, while four multi-function knobs offer hands-on control of layers, effects, EQ, and more. Additionally, all keyboard tweaks can be saved within Scene memories for instant recall during performances.

Easy to transport yet ruggedly built, the RD-08 is the ideal stage piano for gigging musicians. Its compact size and lightweight design make it effortless to move, while the durable construction ensures it can withstand years of heavy use. With built-in stereo speakers delivering rich, room-filling sound, the RD-08 eliminates the need for an external amplifier, making it perfect for practice sessions, rehearsals, and performances in small venues.
