The V-Accordion is the first instrument of its kind to provide powerful digital modelling technology in a traditional, immediately familiar, accordion design, and with performance functions and authentic sounds that will appeal to a wide range of players. It combines the familiar sounds and nuances of a traditional accordion with the versatility of a modern digital musical instrument. With a V-Accordion you can instantly select and switch between a wide range of sounds and /or types of accordions, or create your own unique timbres and tuning systems. You can plug directly into an external sound system or recording device, while the headphone socket is ideal for silent practice. These digital advantages are featured across the entire V-Accordion range, including on this, the latest addition for young students and stage performers: the FR-1!
