ROLAND INTERACTIVE

ROLAND V-ACCORDION INTERACTIVE – DISCOVER THE POSSIBILITIES.

Sunday late morning was the opportunity to come and learn about the new range of V-Accordions along with Ross Maio and Liam French, V-Accordion Product Manager of Roland Australia.

With over 10,000 V-Accordions sold since the rst model was released in 2004, the Roland V-Accordion is the rst instrument of its kind to provide powerful digital modeling technology in a traditional, immediately familiar, accordion design.

A very nice information booklet was provided. New models and their features were described to the audience with Ross Maio providing demonstration of the many different accordion reed sounds and other electronic possibilities.
