Bellows control has always been an issue with Electronic accordion but with the newly developed for the FR-8x, Dynamics Bellows Behavior technology represents a real breakthrough for digital accordionists. In an acoustic accordion, sounds are produced by reeds that vibrate with airflow generated by the movement of the bellows; the resistance of the bellows constantly varies, depending on how many reeds are selected and how many notes are played at once. In the FR-8x, Dynamic Bellows Behavior automatically adjusts the air transfer in the bellows in real time based on the selected register and the number of notes played, accurately replicating the familiar and comfortable bellows feel of an acoustic accordion. Dynamic Bellows Behavior can be easily disabled for players that prefer the bellows feel of previous V-Accordions.

Roland accordion is amazing!

By: Paul Licina on 9 August 2021

I recently purchased a Roland accordion from Bavas Music. The features and quality of the FR-8X are beyond expectations. It will be a while before I have fully explored its capabilities. Nick provided great advice and excellent service.
