Roland RD-88 88-Key Stage Piano with Speakers

The RD-88 continues Roland’s legendary RD stage piano lineage in a design that’s lighter and more affordable than its predecessors. The PHA-4 hammer-action keys deliver the responsive, weighted feel that professional keyboardists demand for piano-focused gigs, and the ZEN-Core sound engine puts over 3,000 tones at your disposal — from pristine concert grands to vintage electric pianos, organs, and layered pads.

What’s clever about the RD-88 is the inclusion of onboard speakers. Most stage pianos force you to plug into something external for any sound at all, but the RD-88 lets you practice, rehearse, and even play small acoustic settings without extra gear. The streamlined interface prioritizes fast sound access on stage, and three zones let you split and layer sounds across the keyboard. For gigging pianists, church musicians, and session players who need flagship-quality piano sounds in a transportable, self-contained package, the RD-88 makes a strong case.
