WHY ROLAND?  THE PRODUCTS...

The Roland of today owes much to the use of leading-edge technologies. Roland introduced the very first electronic piano in 1973 (EP-10), followed by the introduction of the world’s first touch-sensitive digital piano in 1974 and the first electric piano to be fitted with a hammer action in 1991. Such is Mr Kakehashi’s commitment to music, Roland now boasts an award winning range of more than 40 digital pianos, including a fantastic new range of grand pianos. Roland is a key player in the expanding digital market.

ROLAND PRODUCTION

Roland prides itself on giving customer satisfaction, through comprehensive production from development process to final manufacturing. The Research and Development Centres in Hamamatsu and Osaka are responsible for technologies essential for the future, while the Hosoe factory houses an extensive sound lab where new products are tested. The manufacture of some products now uses a unique “cell” production system in which a single worker completely assembles each product from start to finish. This ensures high quality products.
