F-20: Digital Piano New Low Price
Alternative finish availableThe perfect first piano
If you’re looking for your child’s first piano, the F-20 is the ideal choice. Delivering Roland’s acclaimed piano technologies at an affordable price, this compact and attractive digital piano offers best-in-class performance that provides a solid foundation for learning the instrument the right way. Its rich, authentic piano tone inspires young players to explore and develop their musical expression, while the fine weighted keyboard action—derived from Roland’s flagship models—provides a true acoustic grand touch that’s essential for proper piano education. As a digital instrument, the F-20 presents many advantages over traditional acoustic pianos to encourage learning and make playing fun, including recording and metronome functions, onboard rhythm accompaniment, and a wide selection of other sounds including strings, organs and bass. In addition, free Roland piano apps allow you to use your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with the F-20, providing a great way to motivate kids with play-along songs and interactive features that help develop their musical skills and make learning fun.
Great sound, compact, stylish and affordable
Although it’s an affordable, entry-level piano, the F-20 delivers sound, features, and performance inherited from Roland’s high-end pianos. With its compact size and built-in stereo speaker system, the instrument fits nicely into any home and is easy to move from room to room. The stylish wood cabinet comes in Contemporary Black or Simulated Dark Walnut finishes, so you can select the perfect colour to complement your living space.
Sound and touch that allows your child’s playing to develop
With sound quality and playing touch that surpasses other instruments in its class, the F-20 delivers solid performance that will carry your child through many years of musical development. The Ivory Feel-G Keyboard with Escapement inherits the functions, appearance, and texture of keyboards found in our flagship instruments, providing an authentic grand piano touch for building fundamental playing techniques quickly and efficiently. The acclaimed SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine—also derived from Roland’s flagship models—allows students to develop their skills with the rich tone and expressiveness of a world-class acoustic grand.
Air Performer and Piano Partner Apps make practise fun
Roland’s free apps for Apple iOS devices will help keep your child motivated by making practise engaging and fun. With the Air Performer app, they can play along with their favourite songs from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch wirelessly* through the F-20’s sound system. The Piano Partner iPad app includes Flash Card, which challenges your child to identify notes that are shown on the iPad’s display and sounded from the piano, with awards given after five challenges. Available from the Apple App Store, these powerful apps use today’s mobile technology to enhance your child’s piano development, and most importantly, make playing piano fun.
*Wireless communication requires the Roland WNA1100-RL Wireless USB Adapter (sold separately) and a wireless LAN access point with an Internet connection.
Intelligent accompaniment helps develop a sense of rhythm
With its onboard Rhythm feature, the F-20 lets your child experience music with a beautiful backing ensemble, so they can have fun and develop their timing skills at the same time. The F-20 automatically accompanies their playing, intelligently following with chord backing and rhythms. 32 different accompaniment styles cover a variety of musical genres, and it’s simple and intuitive to select rhythms from the F-20’s panel or via the Piano Partner app. Students can also play with drums and bass, or drums only, without the other backing instruments; a great feature for daily piano practise.
Digital advantages make learning piano at home easy
Unlike acoustic pianos, which require regular tuning and maintenance, the digital F-20 never needs to be tuned, so your child can enjoy perfect piano sounds all year round. It also includes a wide range of useful onboard features for practising, such as a metronome, a recorder for capturing performances, and a Twin Piano mode that splits the keyboard so two people can play side by side in the same octave ranges. You can easily adjust the piano’s volume to suit the room, or use headphones for private practise without disturbing others. Additionally, separate output jacks let you connect the piano to an external sound system for parties and family gatherings at home. The F-20 also includes electric piano, harpsichord, organ, guitar, strings, and even synthesizer sounds, allowing students to explore a world of instruments beyond the piano.
