Roland FP-10

Is that the same action as the 704?

No, the FP-10 has Roland's entry level PHA-4 action, and the 704 has the PHA-50. I guess there's a "pivot length" difference, maybe among other things. My action clicks a lot, which is the main drawback to me. But I haven't had experience with their better actions, and may not know what I'm missing. I think practice on a PHA-4 transfers adequately to any piano, that's the important thing.

PHA4 is good enough. You still need an acoustic.

There’s an FP10 that was bought in January that they’re selling for $450 on FB Marketplace

EBay, good prices on New and Open Box

yeah Roland made a deal with Costco, they were available on the floor at $550 after discounts. The ACR is the branded one Costco bulk purchased. FP-10 hardware with slightly modified firmware, different voices I think.

Better deal

I'm looking for higher quality more stable with 3 pedals. I tried an FP-30 and vastly preferred the Yamaha P515/525 series build, pedals and action.

I know it's a lot more money vs the FP10/30 but, we like what we like. I haven't played the HP704 yet. I might have to visit George and Ken soon.

Come on down.

Wish we could have sampled some Rolands, but nobody in the area had one that met our criteria.

Just submitted the paperwork for three of these:

Those are sweet Yamaha models.

I don't want to go that high end.

The 525 is on sale at Sweetwater for $1,599

The 525 is on sale at Sam Ash for $129 (including keyboard stickers)

Sam Ash has a clearance sale going on, but still, this is too low. I was looking for a violin there, crazy prices for that too.

I'm missing something here.

EDIT...

That appears to be a scam, too good to be true
