Roli has captivated attention with the grand unveiling of their 49-key educational piano, a significant expansion from their previous 25-key model, at the renowned NAAM audio show.
Staying consistent with characteristics of its forerunners, the Roli Piano features MIDI keys that glow in concert with an instructive app, presented on any handheld device. The device also boosts an developmental AI Assistant, a revolution in the use of generative AI in making musical education fun, easy, and insightful.
However, the new model’s price tag is hefty. Priced at $599, it significantly overshadows the Piano M’s $249 retail cost. Nevertheless, Roli is offering a limited time ‘super early bird special’ pricing of $399.
Educational tools have become a key focus for Roli, following a period of financial hardships in 2021. While their previous products have inclined toward the niche, this pivot to educational tools like the new Piano is a strategic move to tap into the broad music education industry.
