I kinda disagree.
How do we know if the new one is better or worse without a direct comparison?

How do we know if the new one is better or worse without a direct comparison?
After having been at the factory and SEEING/PLAYING the new Gola... (please sit down for this next part), I better enjoy the sound from my Hohner Morino VI N. The 1979 Gola I have blows it out of the water.Total Scandalli victory!
That's not going to happen. The body will be the same for PA and CBA, but that doesn't bother me. I have both styles here at home.
I have some violin here with a "Stradivarius" label inside that is likely from the end of the 19th century, and those from the end of the 17th century clearly are better.
I can totally believe that. I have done some minor work on a Gola from around the year 2000 and earlier I worked on a 1960's Gola 459. I'd "kill" for the 1960's one but the "modern" Gola simply is nothing very special.

Sorry for the blank quotes. Jerry and Paul. I was going to comment on your posts and got distracted. But I’m going to do that in separate posts.

Better or worse? The two are clearly different animals. The Korg was developed much later than the 8x. It seems to be more flexible, but with greater flexibility comes more complexity. Some may like that; others not.
The comparison video, if it’s made, should be entertaining, and, I suspect, not really a fair comparison. The best comparison for each individual is to try both, but we already know that. I just like to watch the interplay between Cory and Matthias. Do you remember the video of the two of them walking down a street while playing their V-accordions?

Is the more forward position of the keyboard on the bayan a big difference for a player? I never had the opportunity to try one.
Love that! Agree they are cringe worthy too.As a person who finds bellows-shakes to be totally cringe, I couldn't care less about how well they work on the KORG and I rather hope there is a setting to switch them off altogether. I wouldn't want to play one by accident...
It should make it harder for my right knee to cause high whines by accident (my CBA's M reed reaches higher than a standard PA's H reed).
I have been with Korg for over 20 years. Have the latest arranger model PA5x. It makes my FR1x sound great as a controller. As I have available Korg, 4 keyboard sets and an Accordion sound available for each style.
The accordion sounds always were very nice on Korg. If the Suprema has a “Yodel”sound with after touch, like on the Korg Musikant version, I Am sold

"Different animals"? Not quite. At this very early time in the process, there are way more similarities than differences!
The Fisa is obviously based off of the 8X, meant as its direct competitor and to show what the next generation could/should be.
The bellows are the same, the screen is the same, the bass registers are the same, I bet there are a ton more similarities... both are digital accordions with organs, orchestral sounds, layering, same choices of Free Bass, same methodology of selecting and making menu changes... heck, even the people who MADE the 8X are the same people involved with the Korg!
"Yodel sound " means something completely different in the UK.
Here, your doorbell rings, immediately followed by the sound of a van roaring off before you get the chance to answer.
So "yodel" is short for "your delivery"?
I recently was absent and the tracking reported "delivered to letterbox" which kind of surprised me because the item in question would not have fit through the slot. Entirely unnecessary by the way since the same delivery company already reported the previous day packing the package into the delivery vehicle and reported at the evening "could not be delivered" while another package of the same size with the same company was delivered that day. I digress. This was the solution I was not anticipating:
Had someone bothered to take the package (or rather what remained of it), I'd have been sitting on a "delivered" report in the package tracking.

For me not a big difference. The further forward the harder it becomes to keey hand and forearm in a straight line, but few people do that anyway. A more important difference is often in the size and spacing of the buttons.
Please can anyone post me a video of an electronic accordion (Korg, Roland etc.) really emulating the sound of a good acoustic accordion so I couldn't tell them apart?
I've spent an hour listening to the Korg one in videos and the stradella left hand sounds like a 1980s keyboard from Argos..... Am a missing something or is that what has been sampled?
I play the organ and piano and although I don't rush to play electronic versions, when I do the technology seems light years ahead of what the poor old accordion is getting.

I’m looking but first I have to find some of that pizza that tastes like ice cream.
