After the demise of Roland Europe in early 2014, Roland Japan announce the end of production of the V Accordion line. And the rumors flew! It was widely speculated that the company who bought out Roland Europe would take over production.

However,
"Los Angeles, CA, September 4, 2014: Roland Corporation is pleased to announce that a new production and outsourcing agreement with FATAR Srl. has been finalized, and manufacturing for the V-AccordionŽ line resumed in Italy in August." (of 2014)

And while they have discontinued some models of the V Accordion, my dealer assures me that a new one can be had.

It is my understanding that Roland Europe is where the BK-7M was assembled. So maybe FATAR will take on production of the BK as well. Hate to see it go! IMHO it was one generation away from being a really great module.

Just a thought,
Don P
