"We have been using Roland pianos for our Keyboard Skills classes for many years. Our students and professors have always been impressed with the excellent action, sensitivity and musical qualities of the instruments. The improvements in the latest models will further enhance the professional training the very talented young musicians receive at the Royal College of Music."

“With a resurgence in all things glamorous* the Roland KR-17M baby grand and the KR-15M mini grand digital pianos are the perfect accessory for any home on the quest for gorgeousness. The pianos, which boast the superb sound you would expect from Roland can also be coloured to match your personal décor, although black is still the new black. With state-of-the-art technology including an onboard CD system with remote control and keys that move of their own accord these pianos are both the ultimate home entertainment system and a style statement set to curl the toes of your kitten-heeled mules."

Andrea, Caroline, Sharon and Jim were encouraged to play instruments at an early age by their musical parents and have now sold over 25 million records around the world, with their albums going platinum in more than 20 countries! Hits such as “Runaway”, “What Can I Do?”, “So Young” and “Only When I Sleep” also earned the group the prestigious “Best International Band” title at the 1999 Brit Awards.

The band has recently taken delivery of several Roland KR-15 Grand Pianos, one of which is used by Jim Corr as his main songwriting instrument, with another taking up permanent residence on stage during their live shows.

“Roland pianos have the most authentic grand piano sound we have heard and fantastic orchestral sounds too. Whether using a keyboard or piano in our vocal coaching sessions, Roland really helps our pupils deliver their best performance”
