There are many ways to add a certain level of originality to any musical act, however there is one that has been relatively unexplored besides what you see in polka bands and some traditional Irish folk bands. I’m talking about the
accordion people. You don’t see many bands using them in venues other than the town hall for polka dance night or at a Flogging Molly show. Well, I think it’s time for that to change and with help from the Roland FR1 V-Accordion, it can be done on the cheap and without limiting your sounds to the traditional accordion sound. That’s right, with the FR1 accordion; you have access to many sounds including orchestral sounds as well as popular accordion models. The FR1 uses 8 x AA type 2000mAH Ni-MH batteries providing over five hours of performance per pack, plenty of time to roam the stage at a gig. The FR1 is extremely lightweight and portable and allows you to instantly switch between classic accordions, tunings and orchestral instruments. It features built-in reverb, chorus, rotary and other effects as well as headphone and standard audio outputs to easily practice in silence or connect to an amplifier our sound system of your choice. The accordion has officially crossed over into the mainstream. Awesome!
