Roland

Here at Andertons Music Co. we're really pleased to have been chosen as a Roland Store. That means we have a Roland specialist on staff and a complete range of current stock, most of which is available to demo in our Guildford based store.

What that means for you is that you're guaranteed the very best service and expertise throughout the whole process of researching, and hopefully buying a new Roland digital piano, keyboard, electronic drum kit and hi-tech gear.

History Of Roland

The Roland Corporation are on the cutting edge of musical instrument innovation, and have been since their creation in 1972.
With a brand culture very much influenced by its Japanese origins, Roland are constantly pushing the boundaries of digital music making, leading to them producing the best electronic drum kits in the world, as well as the most popular digital home pianos and keyboards.

But it's synths where Roland really cut their teeth and their impact on the synthesizer market stretches right back to the 1980s when Roland founder Ikutaro Kakehashi had a pivotal role in developing the MIDI standard which is still used extensively to this day.

Series

Roland makes a series of beginner to professional instruments including a large selection of electric pianos, the Rd-2000 Stage Piano, FA Series Workstations, GT-1000 Multi Effect Processor, and Aira Series products designed for modern electronic musicians. As well as these, Roland makes a series of top-end amplifiers such as the Katana Series, Blues Cubes, and the classic Jazz Chorus.

We've dug into plenty of Roland products on our Andertons blog. Find out more about the difference between FP10 and FP30 digital pianos, the SPD-SX drum pads, and the Blues Cube amp line-up.

Certified Roland Store

As mentioned above, we're a designated Roland store. Zach Bair, our resident Roland specialist, can offer tailored advice, book special appointments and services, and recommended the perfect Roland gear for your needs. Here's what Zach has to say:

"I’m Zach – your local Roland Store product specialist at Andertons in Guildford. If I recommend a product, it’s because I’d be happy to use it myself. As a classical and jazz double bassist, with several years of experience in recording studios, I have an extensive background in music, and can show you how Roland and BOSS gear will help bring your own performances and studio productions to life.

I’m really excited to be working with some of the coolest gear and people in the music business. Come in and meet me and we can talk about your musical needs. Or, if you prefer, simply book a 1-2-1 presales demonstration right here. You can also pick my brains with an aftercare appointment – where I’ll walk you through your new purchase and its deeper features – or ask me for any product or tech support after you’ve taken your product home."
