Our Verdict
If you want a furniture piano that also connects to your phone and tablet, the RP-107 offers Bluetooth streaming and an app with hundreds of sounds — all in an elegant cabinet.
Pros
- ● 324 tones (15 from panel, full library via Roland Piano App)
- ● Bluetooth Audio + MIDI — stream music and connect wirelessly
- ● PHA-4 Standard with Escapement and ivory-feel keys
- ● 256-note polyphony with SuperNATURAL Piano
- ● 3D Ambience headphone effect
- ● 377 built-in songs including lesson libraries
- ● 3-pedal unit with continuous damper detection
Cons
- ● No line out — headphones only for external audio

- ● 37 kg — heavy furniture piece
- ● 16W speakers — modest for a console at this price
The RP-107 is the modern choice for someone who wants a beautiful furniture piano that does more than just sit there. Bluetooth lets you stream music through its speakers, the app unlocks hundreds of extra sounds, and 377 built-in songs give you plenty to practice. The piano sound itself is good but not class-leading — you're paying partly for the connectivity that competitors skip. If you just want the best possible sound and touch for the money, look at the Kawai KDP75. But if you like the idea of a piano that connects to your digital life, this is the one.
Technical Deep Dive
About the Key Action
The keys have a satisfying weight that gets heavier as you go lower, just like a real piano. There's a subtle click partway through each keystroke that mimics the feel of a grand piano's action. The surface has a slight texture so your fingers don't slip, even when your hands get warm.
Who Is This Piano For?
You've decided to learn piano and want a real piece of furniture in your living room — not a keyboard on a stand. You also like the idea of pairing your tablet to play along with your favorite songs through the piano's speakers, or using Roland's free app for guided lessons on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
