Hi I recently purchased a Roland KF-10 piano, which has two phones jacks (3.5mm and 2.5mm)
I wonder if I can connect it to Sonos so the sound can roam through the room. I searched in the community, but the Yamaha model has RCA which made the connection to Sonos Connect much easier.

I have Soundbar, New Play:5, Play:1 and One. Thanks!

Won't there be a delay of at least 70ms? I'm not a pianist but I would have thought this would make the whole playing experience extremely difficult.

Yes, it would make it almost impossible. The sound output would be 70 ms behind the playing of the keys. In general, Sonos is not for use in live situations like amplifying music/voice, or DJ'ing.

If it has line out then yes you could connect it to a Play 5, Connect, Connect amp, via the line in. Then you can group speakers at your will to have sound all around your house.
