The RD-88 has gotten a little brother in the form of the RD-08. The RD-88 is already immensely popular for its super compact size and light weight, but especially for the unprecedented audio quality that comes from such a "small" instrument. The
RD-08 continues this fine tradition in an even more affordable version. A small reduction in controls and some sounds, for example, but without compromising on sound quality. The ideal piano for anyone who wants to practice at home without too much fuss, but with the same ease on stage. And with its extensive USB and MIDI connectivity, this piano also integrates well into a more elaborate live setup, or can be used directly in a studio setting.
