Roland FR-7 Accordion demo video, Summer NAMM 2006

In our digtal age, even the ol squeeze box gets the future-rific makeover. Billed as "the world's first" complete digital upgrade to this traditional instrument, the FR-7 V-Accordion features something called Physical Behavior Modeling, which modifies the sounds based on your playing to mimic old-school "analog" accordion inflections. The FR-7 lets you switch between a variety of sounds, including woodwinds, guitar, brass, and other instruments typically associated with accordion playing.

And the best thing about it is, you can just press a button and the accordion plays your whole set for you while you go have coffee. I like to leave a little Alpine hat balanced on top of mine so people can have fun imagining it's a person.

I love the sound of this electronic accordion this guy plays really well! The fact you can change instruments is awesome too. Damn, wish I had an Accordion :(
