 The NAMM Show is for the music trade only and not open to the public with some 86,000 people from the music trade attending. Ron Lankford of Roland USA reports: "Roland are pleased that the unveiling of the FR-1 V-Accordion for its American release at the NAMM Show was a huge success." "The attention that was given to the new FR-1 and the whole Digital V-Accordion line was the best ever. There are now 4 models that are currently available in the Roland digital accordion line-up and even though the FR-1 is the smallest offering, it's accordion features certainly don't say entry level." "Weighing in at less than 12.5 pounds, 26 treble keys, 72 bass buttons, 4 orchestra voices, 4 organ voices, has 7 accordion models and is a midi controller. It's certainly not the average beginning accordion." "The accordion demonstrations at the Roland NAMM booth were provided by two of the finest, Eddie Monteiro and Cory Pesaturo. For the first time in NAMM history, the accordions were invited to take Center Stage." "This history making hour long Accordion Palooza Event took place on Sunday morning and included both Eddie Monteiro and Cory Pesaturo as well as local Los Angeles accordion instructor Janet Hane and her 12 year old star student, Wilma Rodriguez." |
