An accordion dealer here in the States just wrote that Roland is currently offering a "huge price drop" on their V accordions. Has anyone heard anything else? Is this permanant? Does this portend something?
Thank you! My thoughts tooConsidering that the FR8x was introduced in 2013 and the FR4x in 2016 and nothing since we can only assume that the V-accordion is dead: no new models and end of production of the latest models... It's about time that there is a huge price drop or "clearance sale" to get rid of the last items from the last production runs before they won't even last past the warranty period after being sold. After all, it's electronics and mechanics and even when not used these do not last for many decades...
It's time for something new (Proxima???) but it's unlikely to come from Roland.
1 - Yes it is oldThe V-accordion design is old in a technological sense! Other manufacturers offer digital solutions and Roland sort of lost traction and interest...
Not just alleged, it will be official Sep. 15hehehe
the "alleged" price drop would not
Hang on... whats happening on the 15th? The price drops are going to be made widely and publicly known?Not just alleged, it will be official Sep. 15

It could be the best thing in the world, I would not purchase from that company, sorry.It's time for something new (Proxima???) but it's unlikely to come from Roland
Maybe it was a prank call I received from the dealer, who knows!
