Artisan digital piano combines hand-crafted solid wood cabinet* and SuperNATURAL modeling technology

Digital technology meets artisan tradition in the new KIYOLA KF-10. Created in collaboration between Roland and Japanese furniture designer Karimoku, this refined digital piano achieves a perfect harmony of form and function: a powerful instrument that makes a sophisticated statement in your home. With its model name translating as “elegance and beauty,” the KIYOLA KF-10 is visually unique in the modern piano market, offering a natural, hand-crafted wood cabinet* that complements your living space and lifestyle. Meanwhile, the presence of Roland’s innovative digital piano technology delivers the performance you demand as a player, with flagship features including SuperNATURAL Piano sound modeling, dynamic sensing technology via the new PHA-50 keyboard, wireless Bluetooth® connectivity to your favorite music-making apps and a dynamic array of speakers that fill your home with sound. Available in a finish of Pure Oak, Walnut, Sheer White, Mocha Brown or Sheer Black, with a foot pedal and ergonomically designed piano bench included, the KIYOLA KF-10 is a digital piano to both admire and enjoy.

*Note: While the KIYOLA cabinets contain hand-crafted solid wood, manufactured wood is used wherever the cabinet interfaces directly with electronic elements or mechanical parts. This reduces the risk of bending or warping due to humidity or temperature changes, providing greater stability and longevity.

Renowned for traditional Japanese wood crafting

With an uncompromising attention to detail and perfectionism, Karimoku’s craftsmen build each KIYOLA KF-10 cabinet at their Japanese factory which is located in the same part of Japan as Roland’s headquarters and factories. The cabinets are then shipped to the Roland plant for assembly of the internal electronics, speakers and keyboards. Manufactured wood is added to support these components during construction, which provides additional stability and longevity.

Ergonomic piano bench supports your posture

Long periods sitting incorrectly on a badly designed piano bench can be uncomfortable, and may even cause strain to bones and joints, lower back pain and long-term damage to your spine. To address this, the KIYOLA KF-10 takes advantage of Karimoku’s experience of furniture design—and associated scientific research—by including an ergonomically designed piano bench. Extensively studied and tested by the Japanese craftsmen, it features a distinctive arched shape that promotes good posture, a wider sitting area that distributes your weight more evenly, and a cushion made from soft, high-density foam. As a result, you can play piano for longer without discomfort.

Winner of the 2015 Good Design Award

Hosted by the Japan Institute for Design Promotion for over half a century to recognize innovative designs that enrich our lives, the Good Design Award and its prestigious G Mark badge is only granted to products that excel in both aesthetics and functionality. As an elegant marriage of Roland’s latest technology and Karimoku’s wooden craftsmanship*, the KIYOLA KF-10 qualifies on both counts, and in September 2015—just before the official launch in Japan—it became a proud recipient of this prestigious award.
