O značce
Roland:
Roland Corporation je celosvětově jeden z nejznámějších a nejdůležitějších výrobců zejména elektronických, ale i jiných hudebních nástrojů, jejich příslušenství a software. Tato korporace vlastní několik dalších značek, jejichž význam na trhu je stejně zásadní – jde například o Boss, Edirol, Rodgers nebo Cakewalk.
Roland byl založen Ikutaro Kakehashiem18. dubna 1972 v japonském městě Osaka, kde Roland také sídlil až do roku 2005 - tehdy se přestěhoval do města Hamamatsu. Pokud jde o původ jména této firmy, traduje se, že vychází ze středověkého eposu Píseň o Rollandovi. Skutečnost je nicméně mnohem méně prozaická – jméno Roland vybral Kakehashi z telefonního seznamu, když hledal dvouslabičné slovo počínající na písmeno R, které tehdy netvořilo první hlásku jména žádného z konkurentů.
Roland dal již z počátku své existence vědět, že bude na trhu opravdu agresivním hráčem. Již pár let po vzniku začal prodávat jedny z prvních kláves a syntezátorů na japonském trhu, které si ihned získaly ohromnou oblibu. Roku 1975 přišel s dnes legendárním modelem kytarového aparátu Jazz Chorus. Krátce na to vyvinul své první kytarové efekty nebo automatické bubeníky. I v 80. a 90. letech uváděl na trh nástroje, které nabízely to nejlepší, co v dané době mohl muzikant získat.
O úspěšné historii Rolandu svědčí i to, že vlastně nikdy během svého fungování nebyl ve finančních problémech a naopak pořád rozšiřoval svou nabídku, zakládal nové divize a skupoval konkurenční podniky. Jako jedna z mála firem, které v 60. a 70. letech začaly působit v oblasti elektronických hudebních nástrojů, dokázal Roland udržet krok s dobou a vývojem nových technologií. Dnes pro Roland pracuje téměř 2500 lidí v továrnách v Japonsku, na Taiwanu, v USA a Itálii.
