My Roland Piano BROKE!! | Do I Still Recommend It?? | Roland FP-30X Review and Repair

Музыка

So my Roland FP-30X Electric Piano got poorly and needed fixing. It's just arrived back from Roland's Repair Centre and I thought this would be a great opportunity to review it having used it for just over a year now, and rate the service I received from Roland.
As an adult beginner I thought others may benefit from following my progress with the piano.
It has always been a lifelong ambition of mine to learn the piano and play publicly with confidence, joy and skill. I have been practicing now for exactly a year and I have learned so much that could help others who are also starting to learn this amazing instrument.
Learning the piano can often be challenging and isolating, so my goal is to share my experiences with others and to help you not feel alone. I'm going to be real and honest, I'm going to include my outtakes and mishaps, my goals and aspirations, and my tricks and tips.
I'm a piano beginner and proud! 👍🎹 I hope you enjoy my Journey

    Just ordered the FP30x for my 15yr old son. Really looking forward to hearing him play...and hopefully I can have a practice too :) Thanks for the time and effort in making this video - greatly appreciated!

    I definitely enjoyed what you do and its so much more authentic being an observer of your progress from humble beginnings, far more interesting than just listening to the polished end result of years of slaving away at the keyboard. So many note perfect players in the world, that imperfections have become more interesting, than perfection.

    You can manually adjust the tempo on the piano, by holding the metronome button, and entering the number you want on your key and press enter. Should be around the C2 area. You can see the numbers on top of the keys for guidance. This eliminates the needs for the app.

    Ah wow! You know I didn't even know you could do this! Thank you so much! That makes using the metronome so much easier! Cheers man! 👍🤩

    The quality of the audio on this recording is exemplary, so clear and easy to hear. Was this audio recorded with the Tascam TM80 microphone?

    I would be a bit pissed if it came back more dusty than when i sent it. Dust is the enemy of any digital piano. It gets between the keys and starts to effect the contacts under the rubber strip under the keys. If doing a repair, they should keep it clean when opening, and clean when its packed for return. Glad you got it fixed, but 5/10 Roland for sending it back covered in dust.

    I connect my tablet directly to the piano when using the app..blue tooth is not reliable enough, just be sure to choose midi on your tablet or phone. There is a ton of samples you can only access through the app.

    How long have you been learning as an adult beginner? I've been off and on learning for a few years now. One of the biggest hurdles is staying consistent with my lesson books that I find super boring 🥲 Based on the progress i make when i manage to stick to it I'm sure I'd have been way further in my journey if I could just be consisten.

    Hey! Thank you so much for the question and for watching! I've been learning properly for just over a year now. I couldn't agree more! To be honest I got rid of my grade books not long after getting them, you're absolutely right, just so boring! You might enjoy my latest video series about motivation and the piano. I recorded them as I was struggling with consistency and drive too! - kzread.info/dash/bejne/iodsxdCzcta1oqw.html I hope it helps! Let me know how you're getting on, what pieces are you learning at the moment??
