Roland FR1 V-Accordion

The ultra-light FR1 puts V-Accordion power in the hands of students, beginners and keyboard players! Thanks to its small size, the FR1 is perfect for young beginners and music schools. Plus it is ideal for performers and keyboardists because of its compact size with no compromise in sound quality. With its long battery life (uses 8 x AA type 2000mAH Ni-MH batteries) you will get over five hours of performance per pack, plenty of time to roam the stage with the FR1!

Roland FR1 V-Accordion Features
  • Extremely lightweight and portable
  • Instantly switch between classic accordions, tunings and orchestral instruments
  • Built-in reverb, chorus, rotary, effects
  • Ideal for young students and stage performers
  • Small Size, Big Performance
Make Your FR1 Unique
The FR1 comes with six variations of inlay sheets that enable owners to change the appearance of their FR1 from time to time by changing these sheets. The player can also create his/her own custom designed inlay sheets using A4 PC printer, or by using any kind of commercially designed paper.

Play Anytime and Anywhere
With high-quality earphones included in the FR1 package, this silent accordion is extremely convenient for practicing at night and without disturbing your family or neighbors.

A Speakerless, Light Model
Connect your FR1 to Roland amplifiers (MOBILE CUBE, CM-30, CUBE Street, SA-300) and be impressed by the power of your sound!

Advanced Musical Expression
With the FR1, you can simulate up to seven different Accordions. And with the innovative four Organ presets (Harmonic Bar) and rotary effect, you can produce amazing organ sounds as well! You can even play your own beats, adding drums with the bass and chord buttons!
