A true grand-piano experience
The characteristics, nuance, and power of a grand piano in a compact body.
Natural and beautiful piano tone. Tone and touch that respond to the performer’s heart.
These models were designed to realize the richness and expression of an acoustic grand piano.
Enjoy the beauty and elegance of an acoustic grand, meticulously realized with the new RG-3F and RG-1F.
RG-3F
Grand-piano sound and quality in a compact and
elegant body
The mirror-nish cabinet in Polished Ebony houses the SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine*1, PHA
III Ivory Feel keyboard*2, and Progressive Damper Action pedal*3. From top to bottom, this top-line
model delivers the ultimate in tone, touch, and design. And because it’s only 95cm (37-7/16") deep,
the RG-3F can be placed in areas where it may be difcult to place traditional acoustic grand pianos,
such as living rooms, hotel lounges, or restaurants. The fallboard, which features a mirror-nish on
the inside, reects the keyboard and performer’s ngers just like a grand piano. It also comes with
educational features, including a built-in metronome and recorder.

RG-1F
The grand piano, an object of aspiration for many,
is now more affordable, compact, and perfect for
smaller spaces such as living rooms
The RG-1F is only 73cm (29") deep. With its SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine*1, PHA III Ivory Feel
keyboard*2, and Progressive Damper Action Pedal*3 housed in its compact cabinet, the RG-1F offers the
beauty and quality of a grand piano. Its Satin Black nish adds class to any room and is easy to care for.
The control panel can be covered by the keyboard lid*4 so you can concentrate on your performances
without being distracted by buttons and indicators. At only 75kg (166 lbs), the RG-1F is lightweight and
easy to move around. It offers a wide variety of built-in songs that you can use for background music and
play-along practice. A metronome and recorder are built in for practice sessions and skill evaluation.

QUALIT Y
SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine provides the power and
expression of an acoustic grand
Both RG-3F and RG-1F are equipped with our newly developed
SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine, which was born by bringing together
V-Piano technology and 88-key stereo multisampling. This new sound
engine is the product of Roland’s deep research of the characteristics of
acoustic pianos, with the goal of faithfully reproducing the rich tone and true
expression of a concert grand piano. 128-voice polyphony ensures seamless
performance, even during the most dense and complex pieces.
Perfect touch and response in every key
Each note of a grand piano has its own character, due to the fact that the
strings are different sizes and lengths, use different materials, and are struck
by hammers of different sizes. These differences create variations in the
tonal color and resonance of each note. For the new SuperNATURAL Piano
sound engine, we sampled all 88 notes of a variety of world-class pianos
and used our unique digital technology to accurately reproduce the full, rich
tone and unique personality of these ne acoustic instruments.
True to the player’s touch
Pianos produce myriad differences not only in volume, but also in tone based
on how forcefully the key is struck. Our latest technology, the SuperNATURAL
Piano sound engine, delivers natural
and seamless changes in tonal color
in response to the player’s touch. The
expanded dynamic range supports the
most advanced and subtle techniques,
just as one would expect from an
acoustic grand piano.
Seamless note decay
The natural decay of notes and
beautiful lingering tones are essential
elements of a piano’s sound. The
decaying sound of an acoustic piano
not only decreases in volume, but
also gradually changes in color to a
softer tone. The SuperNATURAL Piano
sound engine replicates this natural
decay, just like an acoustic grand.

The PHA III keyboard translate
the emotions of the player into sound
Its natural touch is not produced by springs, but by the hammer’s
weight and movement. Just as in an acoustic piano, the lower notes feel
slightly heavier and the higher notes feel lighter. The PHA III keyboard
also faithfully replicates the unique response of grand pianos, where
the keys move downward lightly when you play softly and give more
resistance when you play more forcefully.
The acclaimed PHA III keyboard
accurately responds to the player’s
touch, from the most subtle and
delicate to the most bombastic
technique. As the pianist’s emotion
and intention changes, so too does
the piano’s intonation. As the PHA
III keyboard drives our SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine, subtle
differences of articulation are faithfully reected in the tone for a true
grand-piano experience.
The Ivory-Feel keyboard replicates
the texture of ivory and ebony
Modeled after high-end acoustic grand pianos, the white and black key
tops are made of a material that replicates the unique appearance and
texture of real ivory and ebony keys.
The white keys consist of a twopiece “surface over base material”

construction to create the same

feels better the more you play it.
Simulated “escapement” replicates the feel and
response of a grand piano
Press a key slowly and you will feel the resistance increase gradually
and then become lighter again. This occurs on acoustic pianos when
the hammer releases or “escapes” from the key mechanism. By
replicating this, the PHA III keyboard further enhances the superb
response and expression of Roland pianos.
Inspiring creativity with Roland’s powerful technologies
Both RG-3F and RG-1F feature “Piano Resonance”, which faithfully
reproduces the sympathetic vibrations*

Roland pays attention to intricate, important details
such as these
The length of the hidden portion of
the keys has been lengthened as
much as possible so the fulcrum is
located farther back on the keys.
This reduces the difference in
touch response from the front to
the rear of the keys, replicating the
longer keys and superior response
of a grand piano.

Progressive Damper Action Pedal
The RG-3F and RG-1F feature Roland’s new Progre ssive Damper
Action pedal mechanism, which closely replicates the pedal
response of acoustic pianos. When you first start to press the
damper pedal it offers lighter resistance, but as you press it farther,
the resista nce increases just a s it does on an acoustic piano. This
new design enables more accurate pedaling response. The depth
of the damper pedal allows subtle control of tonal decay by letting
you easily find the point where the damper pedal effect starts
to work, and by continuous detection of the depth of the pedal.
The damper pedal can also accurately express the unique sound
decay when “half pedaling”. The sound immediately decays to a
certain degree of volume after key
release, an d is then sustained with
rich resona nces just as when the
damper pedal is fully depressed.
As a result , this pedal can
accurately convey the techniques
of even the most demanding
pianists.

LESSONS &
ENTERTAINMENT
Features only available in the digital realm help
expand your musical universe
The recorder function lets you easily record, play back, and save your
performances. This offers numerous benets for both performance and
practice. The ability to hear yourself privately on headphones has always been
a major advantage of digital instruments, since it allows you to play anytime,
day or night, without disturbing others.
DESIGN
The beauty of a grand piano in a space-saving cabinet
Physical grand-piano attributes, such as the elegant shape with
hinged lid, have been incorporated into the RG-series’ compact
cabinets. The RG-3F is available in a polished-ebony finish. The inner
side of the fallboard reflects the keyboard and performer’s fingers
to create a look that is true to acoustic grand pianos. The fallboard
closes slowly and safely when let go. With a satin-black finish that
blends well with any type of decor, the RG-1F has a keyboard lid that
can cover the control panel to create a clean, authentic appearance*.
Concentrate on your performances without being distracted by
buttons and indicators. With sets of three pedals, where the left and
right pedals curve outward, the RG-3F and RG-1F have been built to
provide a true piano experience.

The design takes into account usability and safety as well
The number of buttons on the operation panel has been kept to a
minimum. The panel also features an easy-to-view LCD. You can check
the names of the playback songs as well as menu actions on this
Enjoy playing your favorite songs along with full
backing tracks
Both RG-3F and RG-1F come with a wide range of built-in songs, ranging
from classical to jazz. In addition, you can play commercially available SMF
music les or audio les stored on a standard USB ash memory device (sold
separately). With the optional Roland CD-01A CD Drive, you can even play
back and play along with songs directly from a standard audio CD. During
playback of the built-in songs or SMF music les from a USB memory key, you
can mute right-hand, left-hand and backing part individually. Since you can alter
both the key and tempo independently, you can slow down playback when
learning a new piece or nd a more comfortable key for a song with which you
want to sing along. During playback of
audio les from USB memory, you can
also alter key and tempo independently,
as well as minimize the lead vocal or
instrument via the “Center Cancel”
function. Both models also boast over
300 GM2/GS tones with layer and split
capability to support almost any musical
performance or study.

Tree-planting project in Indonesia
The wood used to make our digital-piano
cabinets is imported from Indonesia. In
2008, Roland designated a 100-hectare
area for tree planting, where the company
has been planting trees for environmental
purposes. The area contains a mixture of
protected forest and trees designated
for digital-piano-cabinet production. This
forestation project is expected to offset
approximately 10,000 tons of CO2 over
a period of 20 years.
