At the Roland China 2017 conference, Roland also publicly displayed the kiyola KF-10 electric piano for the first time, which is a new product in cooperation with the Japanese high-end solid wood furniture brand Karimoku.
Karimoku is a high-end solid wood furniture brand in Japan. This is also the first time that Roland has cooperated with the first non-music third-party brand with an open mind. It can also be seen that this is a new change of Roland this year - cross-border cooperation:
KIYOLA (きよら) means clear and pure in Japanese and is completely made in Japan:
There are two solid wood colors, dark and light, to match the overall furniture style of your home, or you can also imagine it as a part of the furniture:
The sound is naturally controlled by Roland , using the SuperNATURAL Piano ultra-real piano sound:
The keyboard is also made of PHA-50 hybrid material:
Support Bluetooth remote control, not only can interact with iPad , but also can be remotely controlled by iPhone and Apple Watch:
Because it is a household electric steel, there is only a pedal interface and no MIDI interface, but MIDI can also be transmitted through Bluetooth. Now:
The pedals are also sold together:
There are also specially designed piano stools with the same upholstery material as the Japanese Shinkansen seats:
Take a closer look at the solid wood pattern of KF-10:
As a whole, only two screws can be seen on the horizontal bracket behind the piano body, and the other places are all integrated, very beautiful:
Between the press conference, I also took the time to catch Roland CEO Junichi Miki , and chatted with him about the KF-10 story, and he also shared some interesting content:
- Karimoku is a very high-end log furniture brand in Japan, the kind that only rich people will buy, and most rich people will buy Karimoku furniture
- The bench was also designed with Karimoku
- Pay attention to the leather upholstery on the piano stool, which is the same material as the Japanese Shinkansen seat (so when you play the KF-10 , do you feel like you are riding on the Shinkansen speeding?)
- All KF-10 electric steels are entirely made in Japan, all by hand
- KF-10 has been exhibited in all Japanese Karimoku demonstration stores along with other furniture
