  • When Roland dropped prices by CAD$1,000 on their MIDI accordions, I saw my opportunity and immediately ordered the tiny but powerful FR-1X piano accordion...

    You change your accordians more often than most people change their underwear.

      it's spelled, "accordion". and i don't think you wear the same clothes for 1 month without changing 'em -- let alone for 1 year. I've had 5 accordions in 3 years, btw.

    Hello Captain! Maybe you could stack your tires in the corner in your living room, have a piece of plywood cut to set on top of them as a desk? Just a thought!

      i cleaned them in the snow in front of my apartment, then rinsed them -- with difficulty - in my shower stall; laid down some 3'x3' rubber mats in the kitchen's corner and stacked them on top of each other. They are not in the way and I cannot smell any rubber smell in the air. Will just throw some cover blanket on 'em and be done with the 'storage problem'. When it's time to reinstall the all-seasons, i'll probably go to my Chrysler dealer and use their storage option. I think it's about CAD$100 a year, which is quite reasonable.

    Аккордеон это круто👍. Миди система если ей не увлекаться тоже огонь👍.
    Гармошку не жалко? Всё таки она более русский инструмент.

      Если человек за год не смог на гармони научиться,то и аккордеон он вряд ли освоит.Так побалуется да продаст .Гармонь была огонь,сейчас Паша гармонист её выставил на продажу...

      They dropped the price by 25%. Now the FR-1X in Canada costs CAD$3000. I bought it from a Roland’s official dealer in Montreal, QC.

    Hello , where’s your accordion made in ? I did some research and I’ve learned this accordion is made in Italy . I just bought one online and mine says Made in China . Did I get a fake one ? Do you or does anybody know if these accordions are also made in China ??

    • @HHTV60
      @HHTV60  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m pretty sure mine is made in Italy. There was a tag on it to that effect. I bought from an official Roland’s dealer in Canada.

      if you didn't buy it from a dealer, that would be my bet -- your accordion was not made by Roland.

      @@HHTV60 I submitted my concern to Roland site and they responded very quickly. They told me the FR 1x production plant was transferred to China in September 2023 ( 3 months ago) . So in other words , I got a super new accordion. I live in the U.S. and purchased it online from a Japanese seller , but I don’t think he’s an authorized dealer. In fact , the Roland agent was surprised I got an accordion from the newest Chinese batch . He told me all US Roland Dealers are not authorized yet to sell this model from the new Chinese batch. He even asked me to provide the name of the seller. I’m not sure if I should do that because I don’t want to put the seller in trouble . Anyway , in conclusion , now I think my accordion is authentic ! Furthermore, I might be the only one or at least one of the very few people in the U.S. who own this accordion made in Roland’s Chinese plant .
