Take the Stage

RD pianos have been the choice of professional keyboardists for more than 30 years, appearing on stages around the world. Now you can have the acclaimed RD sound and playability in a lighter, more accessible, and more affordable instrument.

Standard Features

  • Lightweight and compact design for easy transport and setup
  • Hammer-action keyboard (PHA-4) for world-class playability
  • Acoustic and electric pianos powered by our acclaimed SuperNATURAL engine
  • Easy-to-use interface optimized for performance
  • Three zones with external control and Apple MainStage integration

  • Expand the instrument’s sounds with the RD-88 EX Upgrade available on Roland Cloud

 

World-class playability.

For over three decades, RD pianos have been trusted by professionals, night after night, on stages the world over. One key reason is how playable they are, and how connected you feel when you play one. You get sturdy controls and smooth, reliable keyboard action that feels natural—never stiff, never spongy.

 

Authentic sounds.

A great stage piano needs sounds that are authentic and have character. The RD-88 draws upon its rich heritage and features newly developed SuperNATURAL pianos and electric pianos that can go from sparkle to grit with a few knob twists. And for extra versatility, there’s a curated selection of acoustic and electronic sounds from our historic legacy using the ZEN-Core Synthesis System found in our flagship synthesizers.

 

Refreshingly simple.

RD pianos are easy to connect with, thanks to their intuitive controls and friendly layout. The RD-88 is no different, giving you just what you need for confident and expressive performances. Vital controls are clearly marked and always in reach, so you can quickly find your favorite sounds, add effects, or shape the tonal balance to suit the venue.

 

Integrate virtual instruments.

Sometimes you need a very specific sound or the unique capabilities of a virtual instrument or sample library. The RD-88 has three zones that can be configured with internal tones or set up to control sounds in Apple MainStage. This makes it simple to duplicate the sound of a track live or mix your favorite computer-based instruments with the RD-88’s own palette of sounds.

 

Fits your life.

The RD-88’s clean and compact design fits neatly into your lifestyle. Its lightweight and sturdy build makes it easy to take with you and quick to set up, even on small stages or in cramped rehearsal spaces. And the room-filling integrated speaker system is ultra-convenient and lets you play with less clutter and less fuss.

 

EX sound expansion.

Available on Roland Cloud, the RD-88 EX Upgrade equips an original RD-88 with the SuperNATURAL Acoustic Piano 3 Expansion included in the RD-88 EX.

Magnificent touch.

The RD-88 EX offers supreme playability honed with five decades of Roland piano development. The PHA-4 88-note keyboard features weighted hammer action and Ivory Feel keys for an authentic grand feel, realized with an innovative design that reduces the instrument’s weight without compromising the feel or performance.

 

Grab and go.

With its light and rugged build, the RD-88 EX is easy to carry wherever you want to play. Built-in stereo speakers project rich, room-filling sound, eliminating the need for an external amplifier for home practice, rehearsals, and performances in small venues. Visit the Accessories tab to check out pedals, stands, and other gear to support your RD experience.

 

Upgrade your original RD-88.

The RD-88 EX Upgrade available on Roland Cloud will equip an original RD-88 model with EX specs, including the SuperNATURAL Acoustic Piano 3 Expansion title.
