Our Most Luxurious Home Piano with the Ultimate Sound Experience

Since 1972, Roland has worked to create the ultimate piano experience, and our new LX pianos are among the most exciting yet. We wanted to build a luxurious upright piano for the connoisseur, with the rich sound and graceful appearance of an acoustic, along with a multitude of advantages only possible with a digital piano. The LX-17 is powered by the latest version of our acclaimed SuperNATURAL Piano Modeling technology, along with a unique keyboard that blends wood and molded materials for great feel and durability. The LX-17 connects via Bluetooth® technology to your smartphone or tablet so you can hear your music-making apps or online piano lessons through the piano’s powerful eight-speaker sound system. And even though it’s compact, the classically-styled LX-17 is our tallest upright piano and it’ll definitely make a big impact in your home especially with a choice of finishes including polished ebony and polished white.

PLAYS LIKE AN ACOUSTIC GRAND PIANO

It’s not just the feel of the keys either; the way they move is also important. Each key has a stabilizing pin to ensure the vertical travel of the key is smooth and precise, avoiding the sideways key movement and noise experienced when playing glissandos on some pianos. The key sensing system has been retuned to match the latest piano engine onboard the LX17, ensuring that the sound and keyboard work in complete harmony for the ultimate piano experience. Finally, the keys share the look and feel of real ebony and ivory, and their moisture-absorbing properties mean your fingers won’t slide off when playing.

ELEGANT DESIGN, CLASSIC LINES, TIMELESS SOUND

Although it’s packed with advanced technology, the LX-17 is reassuringly traditional when it comes to style, combining classic lines with a space-saving compact upright cabinet. Once your piano is home, you don’t even need to press the power button to get started - just open the lid and start playing. As you play you’ll notice the gorgeous polished finger board and, as with an acoustic piano, you can open the top lid for an even clearer sound.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ROLAND LX7 AND LX17

Roland call the LX17 their ‘most luxurious home piano with the ultimate sound experience’ and it boasts a few features that separate it from its younger brother. All these put together mean that when you do pay the extra, you’re getting a playing experience that’s more authentic. The whole point of a good digital piano is to recreate the essence of an acoustic piano in an electronic package.

Extra speakers

The LX7 has a three-way, six-speaker system. The LX17 has a four-way, eight-speaker system. You’re getting a pair of nearfield tweeters that aren’t on the cheaper model. These extra speakers don’t just add extra depth and richness to the sound. They also work with SuperNATURAL to ensure that the noises that would come from the area opposite where you sit at the piano come from the same place. Aside from obviously the main piano sound, the sounds that come from this area - harmonic overtones, string hammer noise etc will be most noticeable to a player and so to have an extra set of speakers dedicated to this means you will get a much more authentic playing experience.

Functioning Lid

You can open the lid on the top of the Roland LX17. Firstly, this is a nice aesthetic feature that you’ll see on all sorts of acoustic pianos. But more importantly, when you open the lid, it actually changes the sound; it makes it clearer, mimicking what would happen with an acoustic piano. You’re physically moving a part of the piano which immediately changes the character of the sound - pretty neat stuff.

Roland’s Tallest Upright Piano

The actual dimensions of the LX17 are bigger than the LX7. This will mean that it’s going to make more of a visual impact in your home, studio etc. Both pianos boast a classic, timeless design that will suit any style of decor but the LX17 being slightly bigger makes it impressive even before you’ve gotten your hands on it. With a slightly larger cabinet, you’ve also got more room for the sound to resonate, adding a richer depth to your tone.
