Description
The Roland LX 5 is a stylish upright that brings concert grade piano tone and feel into a compact home friendly cabinet. It is ideal for learners who want a serious start and for returning players who need an inspiring instrument that does not demand regular tuning.
At the heart of the LX 5 is Roland’s Piano Reality Modeling, which recreates the behaviour of a fine acoustic piano in real time. Notes bloom and interact with string and cabinet resonance, so expression feels natural from the first touch. The cabinet houses a four speaker Piano Reality Projection system that fills your room with a warm, even sound, whether you are practising or playing for family and friends.
The keyboard action supports confident technique. You get the satisfying response of hybrid wooden keys with escapement and high precision sensing, so repeated notes, trills and delicate pianissimo passages are controlled and consistent. Progressive Damper Action, soft and sostenuto pedals respond continuously, so half pedalling and traditional pedal techniques translate exactly as you intend.
Sound shaping and ambience are easy to tailor. Choose from studio, lounge, concert hall or cathedral spaces with Piano Reality Ambience to suit the time of day and the music you are playing. When you need quiet practice, plug in headphones and enjoy an immersive private session without disturbing others.
Modern connectivity keeps practice motivating. Pair a phone or tablet over Bluetooth for audio playback and MIDI, open the Roland Piano App for guided learning, scores and deeper control, and use Twin Piano mode, the onboard metronome and the integrated recorder to build skills day by day. USB ports support connection to a computer or saving recordings to a memory stick.
Delivery and set up are straightforward. The LX 5 arrives in two boxes for easier placement on upper floors and tight stairways. Finishes include polished ebony, charcoal black, dark rosewood and light oak, so it will look at home in both classic and contemporary rooms. In the box you will find the owner’s manual, a safety leaflet, AC adaptor and power cord, plus a handy headphone hook. With its maintenance free design and Roland build quality, the LX 5 is a reliable choice for years of music at home.
Features
Piano Reality Modeling sound engine
Roland’s modeling recreates the behaviour of a fine acoustic, so tone blooms, resonates and responds to your touch instead of playing back static samples. This gives wider dynamic range, natural decay and convincing string and cabinet resonance for expressive playing at home.
PHA 50 hybrid keyboard with high precision sensing
The PHA 50 action combines long wooden sides with a durable composite core, escapement and ivory feel tops. High precision sensing tracks the smallest movements, so repeated notes, trills and delicate pianissimo passages stay controlled and consistent.
Progressive Damper Action pedals with continuous detection
The damper, soft and sostenuto pedals support continuous detection and damper modeling, so half pedalling and traditional techniques translate as they do on an acoustic piano. It helps developing players learn proper pedal control from day one.
Piano Reality Projection sound system
A four speaker layout with cabinet and near field drivers projects a balanced, room filling sound. Rated output is 24 W x 2 plus 21 W x 2, giving clear presence for practice and informal performance without extra amplification.
Immersive Piano Reality Ambience
Choose Studio, Lounge, Concert Hall or Cathedral spaces and adjust depth across 11 steps. Match the acoustics to the time of day and the music, from intimate evening practising to an open, spacious tone.
Limitless piano polyphony and a broad sound palette
Solo piano tones offer limitless polyphony for natural sustain, while other sounds provide up to 256 voices. There are 324 onboard tones including grands, uprights, classical keys, electric pianos and organs for varied playing and arranging.
Headphone practice that feels natural
Piano Reality Headphones Ambience creates a convincing sense of space when practising privately. Dual headphone jacks make it easy for teacher and student, or parent and child, to play and listen together.
Bluetooth audio and MIDI with Roland Piano App
Pair a phone or tablet to stream music through the piano and work with MIDI learning apps. The Roland Piano App adds scores, guided practice and deeper control, so settings are easy to refine and progress is simple to track.
Built in tools for daily progress
Twin Piano mode, the onboard recorder and a metronome support structured practice. There are 394 internal songs including scale work and classic lesson material to keep sessions focused and productive.
Deep tone shaping with Piano Designer
Customise feel and sound without a technician. Edit lid position, hammer noise, key off noise, duplex scale and multiple resonances, plus single note parameters for tuning, level and character to suit your touch and room.
Compact cabinet, easy placement and finish options
