PRESS RELEASE

Roland Announces New FR-1 Digital Accordion

January 20, 2009

Roland is pleased to announce the new FR-1 V-Accordion, the latest addition to the revolutionary V-Accordion line. The FR-1 provides powerful digital modeling technology in a traditional accordion design, and includes performance functions and authentic sounds that will appeal to a wide range of players.

The FR-1 is extremely lightweight, with a compact frame that weighs only twelve pounds. Its accessible and portable design makes it ideal for young students and stage performers alike. With the FR-1, players can simulate up to seven different distinct accordions, access four different organ presets with rotary effect, and play along with a variety of beats by adding drum sounds to the bass and chord buttons.

With the included earphones and five hours of estimated battery time, players can practice the FR-1 anywhere, anytime. Plug directly into an external sound source like the MOBILE CUBE Battery Powered Stereo Amplifier or R-09HR Digital Recorder, or use the headphone output for silent practice.

With six different inlay sheets, owners can customize the appearance of the FR-1 to suit their own personal style. Players can even create their own custom design inlays using their computer and printer.

The new FR-1 V-Accordion will be available in both piano (FR-1) and button (FR-1b) types.
