Roland and Dallapé: Tradition meets Innovation!, Stradella - Italy

Sergio ScappiniThe Roland V-Accordion, with Roland's innovative technology, will be able to perfectly reproduce sounds of the famous Dallapé acoustic accordions, starting from the very first instrument built in 1876 to the most recent model.

Mariano Dallapé designed his first accordion in 1871, and in 1876 began factory production in Stradella, near Pavia, Italy. High quality production methods and materials and the trademark Dallapé sound made the instruments produced highly regarded from the beginning.

At the end of 2010, the Dallapé firm closed down, but thanks to an extraordinary cooperation with the Roland Corporation, the sounds of the various Dallapé accordion models remains available into the future. Read Roland & Dallapé Report for full information.

The V-Accordion can import sounds digitally reproduced through its USB memory port. On March 11th, Professor Sergio Scappini (picture right) will perform a concert  at  the Teatro Sociale in Stradella, using the Dallapé sounds. This will be the first public performance of the Roland-Dallapé V-Accordion sounds.

The official launch of the Dallapé sounds will be at the Frankfurt Musik Messe, April 6th to 9th with the release of a USB stick containing sounds samples of six of the most well known Dallapé models plus a booklet explaining the history of the Dallapé brand. Roland & Dallapé Report.
