Hi There is a very simple solution to all the complaints and good comments. Own one of each. I have a new FR-8X along with two Super VI Scandallis and a Hohner Gola. I enjoy them all! I keep them in seperate rooms so they will not fight. CHEERS, Stephen
Honestly, if Dallapé still produced (real) acoustic accordions I would be happy, but Roland Digital Squeeze Boxes are just aaaaarrrrgghhh. I still dream the day Dallapé returns with all it's brightness.
Due to musicians like myself Roland has managed to correct many bugs on the FR8x but certain physical problems cannot be corrected via USB. Examples are like the bellow shake which I cannot really do on my 4 year old FR8x and the aftertouch which is very hard to use. You have to apply a lot of pressure to be able to put the rotary effect on and off on the Organ. One of my friends bought one recently because of me, and I verified the problems which I mentioned and they were corrected. I tried getting Roland to correct my accordion but its like talking to a wall. No after service or responsability accepted on their behalf. I must say that well adjusted its a marvelous sounding instrument and the proof is that I've bought 2 FR3's and 2 FR7's prior to my FR8x.I just wish they would render me the pleasure of repairing my accordion so that I can Bellow-Shake and Use my Rotary organ switch normally.
Gentlemen FR-8x has a new sound fantastic , however in my oppinion this new bellows system from FR8X it is not so good as the previous FR7x. the accordion is very heavy ( I am 67...) saturdays I use to play 10h or more with FR7x I am sure this it would be impossible with FR8x. I am selling my new accordion ! But it would be great if I could have the new sounds from FR8x in my FR7x!!!
S.O.S. Tengo un dallapé(nuevo) hace varios años con su fuelle que no funcionó nunca desde su primer día. A ver si alguien me podría aconsejarme para que funcione el fuelle una vez por favor. Gracias.
Nice accordion BUT, I realised after having a ROLAND7X which I sold, then had the MUSIC/TECH built into my ACCOUSTIC accordion simply the best solution £12000, best of both worlds !! also coupled up to Reg Rawlings Theatre Organs/LIMEX sound boards, olay simply the BEST Den Procter.
