I want to get one

[@albertogatoofficial6829]

Hi, does it need to pull or push Bellow in order to make it sound?

[@j.e.wgreve1535]

Does it come programmed with the traditional vallenato and merengue tuning and layouts as well?

Let’s. Hear it

Thank your for the informative video.
Can you tune the rows semitones apart? Like B/C/C# ?

[@michelmailhiot4848]

Yes, you can édit to your need every buttons

[@JuanDeSedasMusic]

is this accordion for sale?

[@benrozencranz3087]

Does it transpose ?

[@luisvasquez5577]

Other features I like also are capabilities of wireless through rechargeable batteries (I wonder where I could get them), Or wireless Microphones or Bluetooth. Also that left board has 18 buttons instead of 12. I have not tried other tablatures besides the standard viena tablature pre loaded. I understand it had means to make user tablature (which would be very interesting). Also that you can assign any sound from a bank sound of a connected cellphone, tablet, lap top or keyboard and you can practice in silence with earphones. Is wireless earphone feasible? (How?)

[@tomakad]

You probably need a bluetooth transmitter for that.

[@aagevaksdal]

Can it be programmed to chromatic accordion griffs?

[@phillipjlynch9340]

Awesome. I have one just like it. I purchased it new. Beautiful instrument. Its for sale if anyone is interested. I never did learn to play the accordion.

[@j.e.wgreve1535]

Have you posted it anywhere? Please let us know where to find the info.

[@gulejtetjana5791]

I I’m interested, is it still available?

No the whole v accordion line but the diatonic one, yes

[@chrissalazar7650]

👎👎👎👎Ummmm...The Roland V accordions available now are chromatic (each button plays the same note on push and pull). NOT diatonic (Different note on push/pull for each button). VERY disapointing this year old video ad is advertsing a producty discontinued years ago. And isn't even close to providing correct technical information. 👎👎👎👎
