Roland LX-9

Premium Grand Performance in an Upright Cabinet

The LX-9 is the flagship piano in the premium LX lineup. With commanding looks, unrivaled sound, and nuanced expression, the LX-9 embodies everything you’d expect from a high-end concert grand piano—with all the benefits of an advanced modern instrument. Enjoy a host of digital features to enhance your experience, like Bluetooth connectivity, wireless control with the Roland Piano App, and maintenance-free care.

Acclaimed Hungarian pianist Alex Szilasi takes the stage at the iconic House of Music in Budapest for a captivating performance on the Roland LX-9—which features the same advanced sound engine across the range. Renowned for his mastery of Chopin’s works, Alex’s playing will transport you with his virtuosity and expressive touch. Sit back, relax, and immerse yourself in the beauty of music.

Elegant Expression

Discover rich, full sound with complex overtones and harmonics delivered by Roland’s advanced Piano Reality Modeling technology. From pianissimo to fortissimo, breathe life into your music with a wide dynamic range and nuanced playability. Add depth to specific notes through half-pedaling with the continuous sustain pedal. And personalize the sound by changing the timbre of the piano.

A Symphony of Sounds

The versatile LX-9 provides an extensive spectrum of tonal nuances and expressive capabilities that intuitively adapt to your playing. Begin gently to evoke a dignified, soothing timbre, and when you crescendo, the tone dynamically brightens in response to your touch. As emotions and technique intertwine in your playing, the LX-9 faithfully mirrors your passion.

Responsive Touch

The LX-9 delivers an organic playing experience that naturally responds to your touch. From commanding fortissimo excerpts to half-touch and rapid trills, the sensitive keyboard translates unlimited tonal colors. Legato, staccato, and other articulations ring true with precision key release control. Haptic feedback and the escapement mechanism provide immediate acoustic interaction within expressive passages. Long hybrid keys allow for a consistent weighted feel regardless of the hand position on the keyboard, reducing the risk of strain during extended practice sessions or performances.

Lose Yourself in Music

A space’s ambience is a crucial part of an acoustic piano sound. From a vast concert hall to an intimate studio space, Piano Reality Ambience puts six environments at your fingertips. Eight speakers independently deliver the sound of different instrument elements, including string and cabinet resonances, subtle hammer noise, and more. When you want to play silently, plug in headphones for an immersive solo experience.

Piano Designer

Dive deeper into your piano’s sound and adjust the character of each note, including string tuning and temperament. Fine-tune the tone and resonance to your space for the optimal acoustic response. Then save your tuning adjustments as customized presets to summon if several pianists share the LX-9.

Make a Connection

Access deeper settings, play along with streamed music, find digital scores, and more when you pair with the Roland Piano App and other music apps via Bluetooth. Discover additional digital features like Twin Piano mode for same-range duets, an onboard recorder to evaluate progress, and a metronome to hone your timing skills.
