Roland's 50th Anniversary Concept Piano has flying speakers for some reason
. It's an audacious electronic piano built in collaboration with Japanese furniture maker Karimoku. The outside is one piece molded from Japanese Nara oak that hides a 360-degree, 14 speaker system.
If the elegant curves stuffed to the brim with speakers aren't exciting enough for you, well I've got good news: Roland has also built speakers into drones that hover above the piano and can be controlled by the player. Unfortunately, those couldn't be flown on the show floor at CES, so Roland dangled a pair of them from wires.
Of course, the Roland 50th Anniversary Concept Piano is not for sale. And never will be. This is a creation in the tradition of over-the-top concept cars. Maybe some of its features will eventually make their way to future instruments, but for now it's truly a one of a kind.All products recommended by Engadget are selected by our editorial team, independent of our parent company.
