Roland Europa: 10,000 V-Accordions Vendidos-Italiaby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
  En 2004, Roland sacó al Mercado el V-Accordion: un acordeón digital fabricado en Italia el cual puede reproducir el sonido de un gran número de tipos de acordeón. Desde entonces, la familia del V-Accordion ha crecido hasta 16 modelos diferentes desde el potente FR-7 al cómodo FR-1, disponibles ambos modelos en sistema de botones, teclas y bajos sueltos.Al igual que ha crecido el número de modelos del V-Accordion, su popularidad ha aumentado hasta el punto de haber sobrepasado la cifra de 10.000 vendidos. Esta cifra de ventas refleja el grado de aceptación que goza el V-Accordion alrededor del mundo debido a su calidad y versatilidad. Sumado a este hecho, el V-Accordion ha encontrado una gran respuesta no solo en el mundo del acordeón sino que esta siendo atractivo para todo tipo de músicas y en especial para el sector joven de la sociedad. Esto es debido a que muchas estrellas de música rock, pop, latin y jazz están usando el V-Accordion en sus trabajos y al esfuerzo de Roland por promocionar al máximo los méritos de este acordeón digital. Para celebrar este notable éxito de ventas, todos los productos Roland V-Accordion llevarán añadido el número romano diez (X) para conmemorar este momento tan importante para esta compañía de instrumentos digitales. |

 Jeffrey Lacono, the Borsini company, writes: “Man oh man, what a tour!!! In January Borsini pounded the pavement with the incredible jazz accordionist Vincenzo Abbracciante. Vincenzo and Carlo Borsini both came all the way from Italy to kick off the New Year in the USA. The tour started in Seattle and rocked its way through San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Chicago. We received a tremendous response in all of the cities and accordion clubs and discovered an incredible appreciation for our quality accordions. Thanks to ALL involved for making our first big tour of the USA a great success”.For further information email: jeffrey@borsiniaccordions.it |

| Over the weekend of February 21st and 22nd, the association Atoût Vent in partnership with EMCR held its first master class with two prestigious international accordionists: Domi Emorine and Roman Jbanov in Saint Hélier, Rennes. For 15 students, after a first short musical interview, the 2 day master class began in the multi-activity center, with each student set different targets (for exams or for competition preparations). The 2 days were too short, but certainly filled with pleasure, work, good humor, and with great results and remarkable progress amongst all students. On Sunday, the weekend finished with a students’ concert followed by a performance by Domi and Roman. Combining simplicity, humor and virtuosity, the duo took the audience through an entire accordion world travel from variety to classical, swinging through Paris and Russian folklore - a beautiful concert evening surrounded by a lot of friendship. The next courses are ‘Jazz’, April 17th and 18th, with Jacques Julienne and advanced level by Camille and Nicolas Privat Lebret, and a summer master class in Kermenguy to Lézardrieux, with Camille Privat, Delphine Doublot Angelique Goardou, Nicolas Lebret, Damien Petiteau and Alexandre Monnier, from 22nd to 29th August.
