Roland presents "360 degrees" piano with flying speakers

Music instruments producer Roland has revealed its 50th anniversary concept - a piano with flying speakers, Hypebeast reports. Built from one piece of Japanese oak, the speakers have been set on drones to “hoover over the piano” in order to achieve a “360-degree experience”. There are 14 general 360-degree speakers that aim to recreate a three-dimensional sound space not achievable with conventional stereo speaker systems found on digital pianos.

Feast your eyes on Roland’s 50th Anniversary Concept Piano. It’s made of a single piece of molded Japanese oak. It's paired with floating drone speakers for real immersive sound. #CES2023
