General

Roland's V-Accordions are becoming increasingly popular among accordionists. No wonder Roland has introduced a number of different models of this revolutionary digital accordion. The FR-1X is the most compact and lightweight model from the V-Accordion range and is built to be played standing up. This follow-up from the FR-1 is now equipped with USB functionality, high-grade sounds and advanced bellows-pressure circuitry, which enables you to play with even more expression and precision. This accordion is available in two different colours (red and black), both with either a piano-type keyboard or a buttonboard. This particular model, the Roland FR-1XB RD, is a red button-type accordion with 62 treble buttons and 72 bass buttons.

The sound of the FR-1XB RD

The Roland FR-1XB features ten famous accordion models, which allow you to play nearly any music style, from Shanti songs to Jazz and from French musette to German folk music. There is also a range of orchestra sounds, virtual tone wheel organs with realistic rotary effects, drums and percussion sounds to choose from.

The technology

The Roland FR-1XB is so small that you can even take it along as hand luggage on regular flights - you'll be able to fit in into nearly any baggage compartment without any effort. Its moderate weight of 6.4 kilos won't pose any problems either. As the FR-1X can be powered by batteries and is fitted with built-in speakers, it is ideal for mobile applications. The built-in speaker system provides an excellent sound and it's also possible to plug in your headphones. All these great functions make the Roland FR-1XB perfect for nearly any accordion player, young or old, beginner or seasoned professional.
