The artfully manufactured digital piano combines a handcrafted solid wood housing with SuperNATURAL modeling technology
In the new KIYOLA KF-10, digital technology meets traditional craftsmanship. In cooperation between Roland and the Japanese designer furniture manufacturer Karimoku, this extraordinary digital piano was created. It represents the perfect harmony between functionality and appearance. A powerful instrument that will also figure prominently in your living room. KIYOLA is Japanese and freely translated means "elegance and beauty", which is particularly reflected in the handcrafted solid wood housing, currently, unique in the market.
In addition, Roland's innovative digital piano technology ensures that even the highest pianistic demands are met. With first-class equipment, such as the SuperNATURAL Piano Modeling sound generation, a high-resolution PHA-50 hybrid keyboard, the wireless connection to mobile devices via Bluetooth and a powerful speaker system, the KIYOLA KF-10 offers great sound and an excellent feel for your home. Available in walnut and natural oak, with a matching pedal unit and ergonomic bench, the KIYOLA KF-10 digital piano inspires and guarantees fun at the same time.
Refreshingly different - the handcrafted solid wood case from Karimoku
The housing specially designed for the KF-10 is made by hand at Japan's largest furniture manufacturer for solid wood furniture, Karimoku. Since 1940 the company has been using natural and sustainable raw materials. These are characterized by a unique quality and grain and contribute to the elegant appearance of the KIYOLA KF-10. And this is what makes the KF-10 so unique on the market, because regardless of whether you choose the walnut (KF-10-KW) or natural oak (KF-10-KO) variant, every single instrument is an original with character and personality.
Pure, natural real wood stands for quality that you can see and feel
You don't just want to look at the KIYOLA KF-10, you want to touch and feel it. The gently curved side parts are reminiscent of the high-quality seating furniture from Karimoku and the elegant legs also contribute to the fact that the KIYOLA KF-10 can be seamlessly integrated into a living environment. The subtle arrangement of the minimalist control elements on the side preserves the natural look and avoids distraction from glowing or flashing buttons while playing. When opened, the key cover also serves as a music holder, which further contributes to the aesthetic and compact appearance. The natural aging process of the woods used is a typical feature that you know and appreciate from other high-quality pieces of furniture.

Masterful craftsmanship from a traditional Japanese company
Known for uncompromising attention to detail and perfectionism, experienced master craftsmen manufacture the housings of each individual KIYOLA KF-10 by hand. The Japanese factory of Karimoku is not far from the Roland company headquarters, and so the enclosures are transported directly to the Roland production facilities, where the electronics, speaker system and keyboard are installed. By using environmentally friendly materials and sustainable production processes, both companies guarantee ethnic harmlessness and the highest product quality.
The included, ergonomic piano bench ensures healthy seating comfort
Especially when sitting for a long time, incorrect posture due to poor quality seating can have a negative effect on muscles and joints and lead to back pain or even long-term damage to the spine. To counteract this risk, Roland supplies each KIYOLA KF-10 with an ergonomically shaped piano bench that was developed by Karimoku specifically for sitting at the piano on the basis of experience in furniture design and scientific research. The characteristically shaped upholstery promotes good posture through the use of a soft but high-density foam, with the widening of the seat surface ensuring a more even distribution of weight. So you can play the piano longer, but above all in a relaxed way - without any health concerns.
Real feel thanks to Roland's SuperNATURAL piano modeling and the new PHA-50 keyboard
The artistic look of the KIYOLA KF-10 is by no means at the expense of playability. Open the keyboard cover and experience, thanks to the recognized SuperNATURAL modeling tone generation, the same sound characteristics as Roland's high-class digital pianos of the HP/LX series. Completely different from conventional digital pianos, where pressing a key only plays a previously recorded piano tone, with SuperNATURAL technology every tone is created again and again based on the model of the complex sound creation process of an acoustic piano. Supported by a 4-way speaker system, you can enjoy a warm, lively and characterful piano sound that adapts individually to your playing style. The KIYOLA KF-10 is also equipped with the latest PHA-50 keyboard from Roland, the keys of which are made of both wood and durable plastic. This achieves the playability and appearance of a real keyboard, but without the disadvantage of regular maintenance costs. The included pedal unit supports sophisticated half-pedal techniques in order to give advanced pianists all the possibilities of expression.
A bluetooth interface enables wireless connection to numerous apps
If you want a little more variety at the piano every now and then, you might like the following: Despite its minimalist appearance, the KIYOLA KF-10 can be wirelessly connected to smartphones or tablets. With it you can not only control numerous functions such as sound selection, internal songs and the built-in metronome via your iOS or Android device, but also other music apps, such as Use "piaScore" or "Sheet Music Direct". The KIYOLA KF-10 even allows you to scroll through the digital scores using the foot pedals. If you want to go even deeper, the Piano Designer App from Roland allows you to fine-tune the piano sound according to your personal taste. And even if you just want to listen to music without playing it yourself, the KIYOLA KF-10 is the ideal solution for the living room at home: Play your favorite songs from mobile iOS/Android devices via Bluetooth via the built-in speaker system.
