To be fair, I didn’t observe any bending during play, even when forcefully playing fortissimo, so the GO:PIANO should survive a bit of abuse.

You can record along to a metronome if so inclined, and it gives you a 2-measure count in. The display on the 61-key GO:PIANO also shows the progress through each measure, which is a nice touch of user-friendliness. Interestingly, you can also use the GO:PIANO as a Bluetooth speaker. I’m not sure how useful this actually is considering the questionable speaker quality, but the option exists if you need it.

What I don’t like is the build quality. I said the same thing about the GO:Keys, but the body construction feels cheap. The whole keyboard is made with a glossy/satin plastic, and its light weight just gives a bad first impression.

If you want the best representation of your sound, you’ll need to use the headphone output. I’d also wholeheartedly recommend using headphones while testing the GO:PIANO out if you aren’t convinced by the online sound demos. This End User License Agreement (“EULA”) is between the individual consumer or business entity that will use the Software (“You”) and Roland Corporation (“Roland”). The GO:Piano 61 could be one of the most easy-to-use Digital Pianos on the market, largely down to the LCD Screen. With this, you can read the different settings of the keyboard, names of the sound you are using and parameter values (such as transpose/octave shifts) clearly. It also includes a Music Rest, meaning you can read your transcripts with ease. At the very least, Roland does include the key functions above the corresponding keys. You don’t necessarily need the manual to navigate the GO:PIANO88, so that’s a plus. I’m just disappointed that we’ve regressed from its more intuitive predecessor.

Both GO:PIANO variants feature a reverb effect. You can tweak the intensity amount from 0-10. The algorithm is a hall reverb, and it helps give the sound a sense of space. By default, some sounds have the reverb engaged. The GO:PIANO is a complete solution for learning to play the piano for the first time or beginning again at any level. With Roland’s premium sounds and built-in Bluetooth, it has everything you need, including an education bundle from the best-selling Faber Piano Adventures. There are significant differences between the 61-key and 88-key versions of the Roland GO Piano regarding presets. The 61-key variant boasts over 500 preset sounds, including Acoustic Pianos, Electric Pianos, Organs, and others. You can navigate the sounds using the category ‘buttons.’ The default Rhodes sound on the GO:PIANO88 is the same as EP preset 01 on the 61-key, and it sounds fine. You may wonder how it is possible to have 32, 64, or even 128 notes playing simultaneously, if there are only 88 keys and we never play them all at once.W x D x H: 34.5” x 10.7” x 3.2” (87.7 x 27.1 x 8.2 cm) – GO:PIANO-61 | 50.5” x 11.5” x 3.4” (128.3 x 29.1 x 8.7 cm) – GO:PIANO-88 Overall, this feature works really well. It’s a lot of fun and pretty entertaining whatever level you play at, and the patterns have been programmed to a standard that just about elevates them above the cheese level that’s often associated with this kind of thing. If you own a Roland Piano you can get unlimited access to hundreds of songs and interactive courses. Moreover, the Roland GO Piano’s key action is unweighted, which is unsurprising for a budget keyboard. Realistic hammer mechanisms are pretty expensive, hence the high price point of acoustic pianos. The Roland GO Piano might sport the looks of an actual acoustic piano, but their unweighted keys won’t fool an experienced pianist into thinking they’re playing a concert grand. More specifically, this piano’s keys are too light for advanced players, but they are just fine for beginners.
