Description
The Roland LX-9 is a premium upright that brings concert grand character into a refined home cabinet. It suits committed learners, advanced players and teaching studios that want convincing piano tone, a responsive touch and quiet practice options without the upkeep of an acoustic instrument.
At the heart of the LX-9 is Roland’s Piano Reality approach. The Piano Reality Modeling engine recreates the complex behaviour of hammers, strings and cabinet so notes bloom, interact and sing, with unlimited piano polyphony to support demanding repertoire. Piano Reality Ambience places the sound in realistic spaces from an intimate room to a concert hall, and Piano Designer lets you tailor voicing, temperament and resonance to suit your touch and your room.
The Hybrid Grand keyboard is built for serious practice and performance. Long wooden hybrid keys with progressive hammer action, escapement and high precision sensing track the finest dynamics from whisper quiet pianissimo to full fortissimo. Haptic key vibration adds subtle physical feedback under the fingers, and the full three pedal set supports traditional half pedalling and advanced techniques with continuous detection and detailed damper modelling.
Sound carries with presence and detail through the Piano Reality Projection system. Four way amplification across eight speakers, including a dedicated centre channel, presents string and cabinet resonance with lifelike depth. For late night sessions, dual headphone outputs deliver an immersive private experience. The smart touch panel keeps controls discreet until needed, and the top lid can be left closed or opened to tailor tone.
Modern connectivity is built in. Pair a phone or tablet over Bluetooth to stream music through the piano and to use MIDI with learning and notation apps. The Roland Piano App offers simple control of sounds and settings, guided practice tools and a visual metronome. USB allows you to record and exchange songs with a computer or a standard memory stick. Twin Piano mode, an onboard recorder and a metronome round out a dependable daily practice toolkit.
The upright cabinet looks at home in living rooms and teaching spaces, with finishes in Polished Ebony, Polished White and Charcoal Black. Essentials include the integrated three pedal unit, music rest and mains power. As a digital instrument it needs no tuning, and care is limited to normal dusting and avoiding direct heat and moisture. A matching stool is available from many UK retailers, so check what is included at checkout. When purchased from an authorised UK dealer your instrument is supported by Roland’s manufacturer warranty for added peace of mind.
