It is well known that Roland samples several different brands of pianos, which results in an inconsistent tone...they always seem to have notes that just don't belong.

They attempt to represent an instrument that doesn't really exist...it's very obvious when you play them...with Yamaha and Kawai digitals, at least you know precisely where the samples came from and the quality of tone doesn't change as dramatically between notes.

Personally, I would feel more confident in a digital piano that came from an actual piano manufacturer.

BTW...it was Technics that made use of Steinway samples.
