Hey all, looking to get into playing the piano and costco has a Roland Nuvola piano for $599 at my location. Havent been able to find many reviews over this piano but its seems like it could be a good deal. What do you guys think?
EDIT: Finally got the piano! It sounds well and the build seems sturdy. Thanks for your input and helping me make a decision. Any tips for beginners? Hoping to learn the keys in a decent amount of time, not my first time playing/reading music(Clarinet was my first) so hopefully learning to read piano wont take so long Link to photo
I just got Costco’s new Roland RFP-Nuvola bundle. It does seem like a variation of the FP-30X, with subtle cosmetic variations and small internal differences e.g. a slightly different song/sound list and upgraded Bluetooth (v5.0). I recommend comparing the user manuals on Roland’s website to see the details.
I think the stand and pedal bar look great! Note that the bundle’s bench does not have storage.
Wish me luck — starting lessons this week!
There's a Yamaha special event at Sterling, VA store from July 11-20th according to Costco website. Anyone seeing which models are sold and remembering what are the general price range there? I called the warehouse staff but they said they knew nothing. It's quite a drive from where I live so I don't want to drive to the store and return with disappointment
Hello! I’m just wondering if anyone here has bought a piano when yamaha comes by. I’m looking to upgrade from my Yamaha keyboard and been wanting to get one from Costco when they come by. Thanks! My budget would be between 2-4k! I can go a little more if needed to get a really good one!
I am learning piano as an adult and need a starter instrument for practice. Have either of you bought a piano from Costco and recommend it? Any other tips and suggestions welcome. Thank you
I used to play as a kid and want to restart...

Hi all,
Can someone tell me more about the Roland pianos on sale at Costco currently? There are three I am looking at:
FRP Nuvola $599 on sale

They all appear to be bundles and include the same things, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Since they are Costco specific models, it's been hard to find good information on these. Also, I'd like to know the technical differences between these as well as how they sound and play. Many thanks!
