Roland FR 1XB RD

The V-Accordion has revolutionized the music world and Roland has appointed himself as the developer of these great instruments. The FR-1x series is the latest addition to the famous V-Accordion family. These compact, lightweight models offer the same flexibility and portability as their popular predecessor, the FR-1, but add significant additional features including USB functions and advanced bellows pressure control, ensuring exceptional sensitivity and accuracy. With a new generation of built-in speakers and a larger 7-segment/3-character display, the FR-1x Piano and FR-1x Button set a new standard for small and lightweight accordions.
