Roland’s Flagship Grand, with Moving Keys
The Roland GP-9M builds upon the flagship GP-9 digital grand by incorporating an exciting feature: self-playing moving keys.
Select a song and the keys physically move as the piano performs, turning the GP-9M into both a premium instrument and an impressive entertainment feature. It’s an exceptional choice for luxury homes, hotels, restaurants, clubs, function spaces and venues where the piano needs to create an experience even when nobody is sitting at it.
And when you do sit down to play, this is still Roland’s flagship digital grand experience, with the Piano Reality Concert sound engine, extended hybrid keyboard, haptic feedback and eight-speaker projection system.

Our Take
The GP-9M is Roland's premier digital grand piano, featuring an innovative moving-key system that sets it apart from traditional grand pianos. This exquisite piano not only serves as a luxury centerpiece for any space but also captivates audiences, making it an impressive entertainment feature that is sure to attract a crown and leave a lasting impression.
For a home, it means your grand piano doesn't need a pianist sitting at it to be enjoyed. Select a performance and the keys physically move while the piano plays, creating something much closer to having live piano music in the room than simply playing music through speakers. For entertaining, it's a brilliant feature and one guests will immediately notice.
For hotels, restaurants, clubs, function spaces and premium venues, it becomes even more compelling. The GP-9M can provide self-playing piano music as part of the atmosphere, then become a genuine performance instrument when a pianist takes over. Professional XLR outputs allow integration with an installed sound system, while the microphone input expands its usefulness for live entertainment.
And none of this comes at the expense of the piano itself. You still get Roland's flagship extended keyboard with haptic feedback, Piano Reality Concert modelling and the eight-speaker projection system of the GP-9.
There’s also a strong ownership argument against a traditional player grand. No regular tuning, controllable volume, headphone practice and digital connectivity make the GP-9M substantially easier to manage, particularly in commercial spaces or coastal environments.
If you simply want Roland's best digital grand to sit down and play, we'd point you towards the GP-9. Choose the GP-9M when you want the piano itself to become part of the entertainment.
