Next time you have a period piece to play and no proper organ to play it on, consider getting your hands on the new Roland C-200 Classic Organ.

Just added to Roland's classic instrument family, the C-200 is designed for trained classical musicians, students, and anyone who loves music from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. According to the manufacturer, the Roland Classic series is inspired by the instruments used to create the masterworks of classical music by history’s finest composers.

The C-200, which follows the previously released C-190, is meant for traditional organists who want great sounds and features in a portable instrument. It’s equipped with authentic classical organ sounds and orchestral voices, plus harpsichord, fortepiano, piano, and celesta sounds for accompaniment in Baroque ensembles. The instrument's user interface is said to be simple and intuitive, with dedicated buttons for sound selection and choosing amongst four Baroque pitches and five different temperaments.

It has a 76-note virtual dual-manual keyboard with individually defined upper and lower sections, which allow you to achieve true dual-manual performance from a compact instrument. It also provides a wide key range for playing piano sounds, plus support for an optional PK-series pedalboard (PK-5A, PK-7A, or PK-25A).

Sound is provided with the built-in stereo speaker system, and ambience effects emulate the real experience of playing in a large hall or cathedral. Also onboard is an easy-to-use recorder for music practice.

The C-200 is ideal for gigging classical musicians and students alike. This little organ is also well-suited for use with choirs and gospel groups, and in chapels and cathedrals.
