FR-8x V-Accordion® Guided Tour

Take a guided tour of the Roland FR-8x V-Accordion®.

[@funkhouserb]

List price is under $7000 which is quite a bit less than most new acoustic accordions.

[@DieterLo1]

Great presentation!

[@magicbuskey]

Pirate sound? I cant buy it if I cnt sound authentic on my ship! Actually, all kidding aside, this is very amazing. Good job, Roland!

[@josephsofere]

Nice profile picture!

[@Jurekklodzko1]

4:06 - WOW !!!!!

[@17Oboe]

4:25 looks like a different accordion! (Maybe the 7x?)

[@jocan6666]

caruccia in tutti i sensi

[@DHoberer]

That was excellent. Who is this musician? Where can I hear more of her work? (I came to look up the FR-8x because Vadim (MOZG88VADIM) plays it on Twitch.)

[@climbon321]

That's why I'm here too!

[@daisyduke7473]

Either you’re super teeny or that accordion is huge!!

[@rodrigoariassepulveda9630]

Great! B-7m is discontinued.

[@KetronSD90]

At 2:15 you discuss replacing the treble buttons with real accordion buttons - is that for the chromatic only ?

[@stoicaionica5795]

When come roland fr9x ?

[@serhioramires3166]

Fine! Thanks!

[@daisyduke7473]

[@mihaipiu4061]

Bună ziua! Am probleme in momentu când îi dau drumul restarteaza continuu,se poate face ceva?

[@majewskimusic]

Super, thanks, ;-)

[@PIANOPHUNGUY]

Is there anything it won't do?

[@Cleuton1234]

Queria tanto uma dessas, mas está difícil de comprar ainda mais neste país injusto que é o Brasil

[@carlosaugustodossantos9682]

She plays divinely, however in my oppinion this new bellows system from FR8X it is not so good as the previous FR7x. the accordion is very heavy ( I am 67...) saturdays I use to play 10h or more with FR7x I am sure this it would be impossible with FR8x. I am selling my new accordion ! But it would be great if I could have the new sounds from FR8x in my FR7x!!!

[@nick5times]

CARLOS AUGUSTO DOS SANTOS yes it is very heavy compared to a Swiss midi Gwerder .... 27plus lbs for the Roland wheras the Gwerder is only 21 lbs... huge difference!

[@MarioBruneau]

Why is your grill black? All the FR-8x I see, have chrome grill. Or is it an option?

[@WhatTheHelicopter98]

retails at 6000 and 100+ for a spare battery

[@murathanakordeon]

Whatever you put functions its a vertical keyboard. Roland is the greatest brand on electronic keyboards to my opinion but that is not an accordion although its cheap to any pro accordion and mute sound ability is good for exercise purposes.

[@nick5times]

I do not agree!!

[@anandkanapala6735]

Help me to get my piece

[@wiar65]

Is this one under $6000?

[@engeloy]

just start with one button

[@ggolds5]

OK, this is driving me nuts. Does anyone know what the song she is playing for PIPE ORGAN. It's a Jewish or Catholic hymn. It's been making me nuts all day. I can't seem to pinpoint that song. Anyone?.

[@dvamateur]

okay

[@ccollalto]

how the hell one learns how to play this thousand buttons instrument is beyond my knowledge.

[@MrAcrobaticBear]

This must be expensive as hell.

[@FirstInstruMentalist]

there is barely 200 on a full sized accordion.

[@Obicere]

Over $6000.

[@giuseppeferreri6640]

You need a normal accordion to learn how to play Roland is only for guys that know haw to to play the accordion otherwise is useless & very expensive sorry

[@geostring2169]

nooo turn it off please, im melting

[@ex-trucker1674]

no bla bla bla ! accordeon is for playing women !!!!

[@marike1100]

"FR-8x V-Accordion® Guided Tour" ! eyes are for reading men !!!!

[@Hiddovanos]

Touché!

[@accordioncafe]

Expensive as Hell? well that's not the joke. If all you want to do is emulate an accordion just buy a real one off eBay for one tenth of the price. These ornaments are like women. Good for show but as for live bookings it must be a nightmare. I'd still like one even though they can be impossible to get along with.
