Roland & Dallapé Report The Dallapé Accordion Factory will finish production at the end of 2010, but thanks to the sale of its prestigious name to the famous Japanese electronics factory, Roland, the name "Dallapé" will survive over time and even enhance its prestigious reputation in the history of music world. Roland and Dallapé have agreed to continue the long lasting Dallape history and to transform the original “Dallapé Sound” into a new digital system, that can easily be adapted as an additional option to any V-Accordion ROLAND. The wonderful Dallapé sound is therefore not only retained for future generations in pristine sound conditions perfectly sampled, but will also expand with more options available, and expand to every part of the world, being easily operated and accessible in future to large numbers of accordionists.
