There's someone a few miles north of me my piano tuner friend tells me has a Roland FR piano accordion. He is trying to get us in touch with each other and hopefully sometime soon I can try one of these puppies out! No dealer anywhere near to me has ever stocked these...

The direct comparison video was interesting. Seems they pretty much nailed the sound of the reeds, but acoustically the button noise and general airiness of the real one didn't QUITE come through. Perhaps those are parameters you can adjust..

I wish that Roland would make an ultra light one, maybe 48 bass or 72. And awful lot of what I use the accordion for (playing with full bands, cajun and zydeco or alternative folk pop) doesn't really need that extensive a LH side...


Diki,

Check out the FR-1 (new cheaper model) looks like just the ticket for what you want.
