Roland FP-60chat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

Praised as a strong-sounding, gig-ready stage piano. Multiple owners describe the FP-60X as the best sounding or best professional stage piano they've used, specifically noting it doesn't require external amplifiers for small gigs. One user switching from Yamaha said Roland instruments are simply 'built different.' Another appreciated the key action and feel enough to say they couldn't go back to Yamaha. This positive sentiment centers on live performance use rather than studio or practice scenarios.

Recurring reports of clicking black keys undermine reliability. One buyer described black keys clicking shortly after purchase, having it repaired for a known greasing issue, only for different keys to start clicking afterward, leaving them frustrated with an expensive 'clicking device.' This suggests a manufacturing or quality-control issue isn't isolated. Combined with a separate comment calling the action 'dusty' feeling, key mechanism concerns appear more than once across different owners' experiences with the instrument.

Sound and dynamics criticisms create mixed feelings. Some players find the keyboard lacks dynamics or has a limiter-like feel, while a German-speaking user asks whether the pressure point is too stiff for beginners compared to a Kawai ES-520. Another complains organ patches are dramatically louder than piano patches at the same volume setting. A separate critic in 2022 called the electric piano samples dated, unfavorably comparing them to a much older Roland unit's samples.
