Music Experience knows that having 88 keys makes a big difference when you’re just learning to play the piano. Although smaller 73- or 61-note keyboards are portable and easy to handle for younger players, a full-sized 88-note keyboard helps you develop proper technique and become a better player. The Roland GO:PIANO88 offers the perfect balance between performance and portability. It's lightweight and portable (with optional battery power), yet offers a full-sized 88-note keyboard and sounds derived from Roland’s finest digital pianos, so you can play with the correct technique and expression – vital for classical music or more complex pieces.
While many portable pianos sacrifice playing feel, the Roland GO:PIANO88 boasts full-sized piano keys with authentic touch response. And thanks to the high-quality piano sounds developed by Roland, you'll hear the subtle tonal effects that your touch has. When you transition to a real piano, you'll be better prepared to play with dynamics and expression.
Thanks to built-in Bluetooth connectivity for audio and MIDI, Roland's GO:PIANO88 is the ideal practice partner. Select a song in your device's music library, stream it to your GO:PIANO88's high-quality Bluetooth speakers, and you can jam along with your favorite songs and explore free online content that makes learning fast and fun — including online piano lessons, karaoke, and tutorial videos. And as your musical journey advances into the realm of lesson apps and recording, GO:PIANO88 will be your ideal solution for controlling your software via MIDI with wireless simplicity.

GO:PIANO88 has 88 full-size keys for authentic playing feel and expressive touch inspired by the keyboards on acoustic grand pianos. Having the full range of notes lets you play more demanding music and helps develop the correct techniques for both left and right hands. It also ensures a smooth transition should you play a weighted hammer-action keyboard. And even if you invest in a premium piano, your GO:PIANO88 is the ideal portable instrument for slinging in a gig bag and playing at rehearsals, sessions and shows.
GO:PIANO88 pairs with your smartphone to make learning piano fun.

An acoustic piano ties you to one location, while portable electronic keyboards limit the type of music you can play as they have fewer keys.
