Nicky Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I played a Roland RD800 the last few days as backline. I really enjoyed the action. My understanding is that it has the "ph4 concert" action. This differs form the "ph4 standard" found in the newer RD88. I think the the ph4 concert has been replaced by the ph50 as Roland's premium action (found in the RD2000)...but I think I actually prefer this older action in the RD800. Does anyone know what other Roland digital pianos this action can be found in? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElmerJFudd Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I played the RD800 for a week+ straight in the pit orchestra for a HS show (their equipment) and found it pretty decent as well. While the action on the RD2000 I found fatiguing and a bit sluggish when you need to play fast, notey stuff. I would look for other Roland models released around the same time (January 15, 2014) with the same spec stated action to compare to. Check DP-90Se and HP506 https://www.roland.com/global/products/dp90se/ https://www.roland.com/us/products/hp506/ Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(in terms of a portable keyboard ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElmerJFudd Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I don"t know if they put the PH4 Concert in any other slabs. The previous model was the 700nx, I believe which had a PH III. https://www.roland.com/us/products/rd-700nx/specifications/ Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
