Roland — the world’s leading developer of digital pianos.

Roland has proudly led the development of digital pianos for over 30 years, 

steadfastly pursuing the best in sound, touch, and myriad elements that provide a 

truly “grand” piano experience. Roland’s development philosophy, superior 

technical expertise, and commitment to quality have secured the unwavering 

confidence of both professional and amateur music lovers around the world.

DP-990

Roland propelled the electronic piano market when it 
launched the EP-30 in 1974. This historic instrument 
was the first electronic piano in the world with a 
touch-sensing function built 
into the keyboard. Musicians 
have come to rely on and 
love Roland digital pianos for 
their superior sound, touch, 
expression, and reliability.

The Miyakoda Factory in Hamamatsu, Japan, features Roland’s 
original cell-system manufacturing, a “one-person, one-instrument” 
process where a highly skilled technician carefully and proudly 
assembles each instrument from start to finish. The state-of-the-art 
facility meets international standards* for 
environmental management (ISO14001) 
and quality assurance (ISO9001).

*Issued by the International Organization for 
Standardization (ISO), ISO14001 and ISO9001 are 
global standards for environmental management 
and quality in manufacturing.

With a passion for sound and music, as well as unrivalled 
strength in R&D, Roland has developed many “world’s first” 
technologies that have become global standards. The 
central R&D base for the Roland Group is the Hamamatsu 
Laboratory complex, a state-of-
the-art facility that represents the 
cutting edge of Roland’s innovation. 
Here the core technologies for the 
next generation are conceived, 
created, and refined.
