| Product Description: | The super-popular portable piano-upgraded.
When quality counts but budget is a factor, the FP-30X is the sweet spot of Roland's FP-X series. Balancing affordability with superior performance, this slim and stylish portable piano builds on the entry-level FP-10 with an enhanced sound engine, more powerful onboard speakers, and increased polyphony. Featuring Roland's SuperNATURAL Piano technology and the same expressive 88-note PHA-4 Standard keyboard as the premium FP-60X, the FP-30X is the perfect home instrument for seasoned players. And with its easy-to-transport weight and Bluetooth connectivity for lessons and play-along audio, it's an ideal choice for any pianist who wants to develop their skills or perform at small events.
Authentic acoustic touch and tone.
Forget the lightweight keyboards on typical mid-price portable pianos-with a single key strike on the PHA-4 Standard keyboard, you'll instantly know the FP-30X stands above the rest. With 88 full-size keys, this piano allows for a complete range of expression as your technique and composition skills grow. And with hammer action, escapement, and ivory feel, you'll enjoy the same touch beneath your fingers as a great acoustic instrument, right down to the subtle "click" feel as you depress a key. Behind the authentic feel and playability is Roland's powerful SuperNATURAL sound engine, picking up all the nuances of experienced pianists and helping newer players develop more character and dynamics.
Impressive sound wherever you play.
The FP-30X's powerful onboard stereo speakers deliver surprising power and character during performance, complementing the sound engine to further bring out the expression in your playing. And if you ever need more sound coverage, simply connect external powered speakers via the dedicated output jacks. For home practice, try the dedicated mode that adjusts the sound for optimum quality when the FP-30X is placed on a desktop, or connect headphones to the twin outputs for silent practice day or night, either solo or alongside your |

If you know a relative/friend who you can trust, they can buy you a shop card and you can then buy in-store without a membership. You might be able to use any amount (say $25) and pay the remainder at checkout using a visa card or cash/debit, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Otherwise, as others have stated, this is pretty much equivalent (though no stand and bench). Korg LP-380 is also decent (own one myself), but more expensive.

PHA-4 (FP-10/FP-30X)
- Positive: Love the imitation of the hammer striking the string, like the ivory touch of the key surfaces
- Negative: Keys return a bit too slowly, keys feel cheap/plasticy and a tad noisy
LP-380U:- Positive: More quiet action, keys feel more solid and less wiggly, almost like wooden keys
- Negative: Dynamics (volume, key velocity) is more difficult to control than it should be. I've heard people say this is more noticeable at low volumes.
Overall, unless you're a beginner, I think the LP-380 has a better/capable action in comparison to the PHA-4 action. But it's not perfect, either.For beginners, the 380 makes more sense because of the convenience of everything in one place, key cover, stand, pedals.
The 30x deal here is no slouch, but try them at a store if you can. You might have to go to multiple stores.
