When choosing a Roland digital piano, the key question is not just “how many tones does it have?” The core issue is how the keyboard responds to your fingers, how the sound engine reacts to dynamics, how realistic the pedal system is, and whether the instrument maintains its quality over time in a family, student, or professional practice environment.

At Royal.az, Roland pianos are presented not just as products, but as the right musical choice. Here, the customer can listen to the sound of a model, watch its video, calculate monthly payments with a credit calculator, and most importantly, gain a real understanding of the differences in keys, sound, pedals, and cabinet through the explanations of our musician team.

In the digital piano market, Kawai and Roland are considered two high-level peaks: Kawai is distinguished by its warm, soft, and wood-key feel, which is close to an acoustic piano; whereas Roland is strong in its modeling sound engineering, stable sensor system, realistic spatial feeling with headphones, and highly functional technology for the home. Yamaha is also a world-class grand piano brand, but the unique advantage of Roland models is that the sound is not formed as a “pre-recorded sample,” but is shaped dynamically in real-time according to the performance.

Why does the HP704 hold a special place in the HP series?

The Roland HP704 is the ideal model for customers seeking a premium digital piano for the home who are looking for high-level touch and sound without moving up to the larger and more expensive LX series class. It distinguishes itself from the HP702 with a more powerful keyboard and sound projection.

The HP704 combines the PHA-50 keyboard, SuperNATURAL Piano Modeling, Progressive Damper Action, and a four-speaker Acoustic Projection system. This combination makes it a serious choice not only for beginners but also for intermediate and advanced-level players.

What does the PHA-50 hybrid keyboard provide?

One of the biggest advantages of the HP704 is the PHA-50 keyboard. This action is crafted using a combination of wood and durable molded materials, providing an experience closer to an acoustic piano touch with escapement and an Ebony/Ivory Feel surface. The wood inlay on the side of the white keys creates a more substantial, more “piano-like” feeling under the fingers.

This plays a major role in the performer's technique. Stability in fast passages, control in delicate dynamics, reliable response in powerful chords, and comfort during long practice sessions are the details that elevate the HP704 to a high class.

Acoustic Projection and the four-speaker sound system

The HP704 features a four-speaker Acoustic Projection system. This system works to project the piano sound more widely, layered, and naturally throughout the room. In simple digital pianos, sound often comes directly from two speakers and remains "trapped inside the instrument." With the HP704, the sound fills the space much better.

This difference is especially noticeable during family performances, when playing the piano in a living room, and when playing classical pieces. The bass of the left hand sounds fuller, the melody of the right hand is clearer, and the pedal resonance is heard with more control.

Choosing between the HP704, HP702, and LX-6

The HP702 is a more compact and accessible premium Roland choice. The HP704 stands one step higher with a more powerful keyboard and sound system. The LX-6, on the other hand, offers an even more premium Roland experience with Piano Reality Modeling, a Hybrid Grand keyboard, and a five-speaker projection system.

If the buyer says, “I want a Roland that I won’t change for many years, that looks beautiful at home, and provides a serious playing feel,” the HP704 is one of the most logical candidates. The LX-6 is for those who want a higher class and a greater acoustic illusion.

The value of testing the HP704 live at Royal.az

Reading about the HP704 on paper is useful, but the main value of this model is revealed in a live test. The difference of the PHA-50 keyboard, the way the four-speaker sound system spreads into the room, and the resonance response with the pedal are felt more clearly during a real performance. At the Royal store, it is possible to compare this model with other Roland and Kawai models.
