The Roland GP-9 is the pinnacle of Roland’s digital piano range, combining the presence and proportions of a grand piano with the company’s most advanced piano modelling, keyboard and sound projection technologies.
Designed for accomplished pianists, premium homes and performance spaces, the GP-9 delivers the expressive response expected from a serious grand piano while adding the practical advantages of digital: no regular tuning, controllable volume, private headphone practice, Bluetooth connectivity and extensive sound customisation.
Finished in polished ebony with an opening grand lid and elegant traditional lines, this is a piano designed to be both played and seen.
The GP-9 is the Roland we recommend for those seeking digital advantages without compromising the experience of owning a grand piano. Everything is designed around making the instrument feel substantial. The longer-pivot Piano Reality Concert keyboard gives you greater control from the front to the back of the key, while high-precision sensing captures very fine changes in touch. Roland even adds subtle haptic vibration through the keyboard, helping recreate the physical feedback you feel when playing an acoustic grand.
Then there's the sound system. Eight speakers positioned throughout the cabinet don't simply make the GP-9 louder, they project different elements of the piano sound from different locations. That creates the width, depth and physical presence that's difficult to achieve with a conventional digital upright.
The practical advantages for the home are substantial. You can have a statement grand piano without regular tuning, control the volume to suit the room and practise through headphones at any hour. For coastal homes and environments where temperature and humidity can make acoustic piano ownership more demanding, that's particularly compelling.
We'd also recommend the GP-9 for schools, churches, function spaces and performance venues that want a grand piano permanently available without the ongoing tuning and maintenance requirements of an acoustic instrument.
This isn't simply a digital piano dressed up as a grand. The GP-9 is Roland's flagship piano experience, built for the player or space where sound, touch and visual presence all matter.
A traditional grand piano is a significant commitment to both space and maintenance. The GP-9 gives you another option.
There is no regular tuning schedule, volume can be controlled for different times of day and headphones allow completely private practice. At 169kg, it's also substantially lighter than many acoustic grands, while integrated casters assist with positioning within a room.
For homes near the coast, the consistent digital sound generation also removes the tuning instability associated with changing environmental conditions.
You retain the visual impact and physical presence of a grand piano, but ownership becomes considerably simpler.
