@Herscheid's MTL : ROLAND's first electronic-piano model, the EP-10 made in 1975.
Beautiful vintage piece. Fully functional and in a good overall condition! It's a great piece of history.
1973 Introduction of the EP-10, Roland’s first all-electronic, oscillation-based combo piano
In this era, oscillation of the tone/bar and lead with electricity was the mainstream in electronic piano technology, and the introduction of the all-electronic, oscillation-based piano engine was a big leap forward.
When compared with today’s digital pianos, the Roland EP10 was a pretty poor instrument. It had a five-octave (F-F) keyboard that wasn’t touch-sensitive, so was it really a piano? The controls consisted of four preset buttons (two pianos, and two harpsichords) and a volume knob.
But remember this was one of the very first such electronic instruments ever built, and surprisingly for the time, it was incredibly reliable.
About the unit:
- The top cover is slightly angled on the right side (see pictures)
- The pedal is missing
- Some small spots on the keyboard where the finish has worn away
- Made in Japan
