Roland F701-CB Compact Digital Piano Contemporary Black

Quick Product Summary

The Roland F701-CB is a stylish, space-saving digital piano designed to bring authentic Roland piano performance into the modern home. Finished in sophisticated Contemporary Black, its slim cabinet, clean lines and integrated key cover make it an excellent choice where both appearance and floor space matter.

Underneath the minimalist design is Roland’s SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine, an expressive 88-note PHA-4 Standard keyboard, a three-pedal system, onboard stereo speakers and Bluetooth connectivity. With extensive practice features and support for the Roland Piano App, the F701-CB is equally suited to beginners, developing players and experienced pianists looking for a compact home instrument.

Its streamlined cabinet is complemented by modern features including Bluetooth Audio and MIDI, over 300 instrument tones, an extensive internal song library, recording functions and Headphones 3D Ambience. Together, these make the F701 an exceptionally practical instrument for everyday practice, lessons and relaxed home playing.
