Old meets new with Roland’s 50th Anniversary Concept Piano. The Japanese Nara oak wood, preinstalled sounds from vintage Roland pianos, and the acoustic performance of a classic grand are all nods to the brand’s history. Flying drone speakers float above the piano providing 360-degree sound, and a touchscreen panel supports videoconferencing and piano lessons. Only four have been made. “This is our vision for the home grand of the future,” says Roland CEO Gordon Raison.
