By Ari Rosenschein| Roland@ Roland has always worked to create the ultimate electronic piano feel and sound; this aim has been evident since the 1972 release of the EP-30 electronic piano. With the RD-1000 in 1986, Roland transformed the music world, debuting a line that would become revered by players like Rick Wakeman, Ed Sheeran, and Elton John. The RD spirit of innovation continues four decades later with the RD-2000 EX, RD-88 EX, and RD-08.
