Fou Rire on FR3 - Cathie Travers

The Roland is too large for me to sit down and play comfortably, so I stood....well that didn't last for very long!! You can see I'm getting closer to the floor...eventually I got the giggles and gave up [so I faded the video].

What I DO like about the Roland is the very precise attack on both keyboards...unlike my Titano, which is a little old and flabby - the poor dear ;-(

What I don't like about the Roland is the length of the treble keyboard keys...it makes the instrument so wide that my right hand and arm are pushed into a weird position; the corner of the keyboard is past my shoulder [when sitting] instead of tucking in before the shoulder. SO....anyone who's designing for Roland....please make the next generation v-accordions with a shorter keyboard :-))

Cathie

We all wish an "ear" a fraction as good as yours.....absolutely wonderful arranging and playing.

@petossa Thanks for your compliment. If I can offer an encouragement: my 'ear' has developed over time, and with practice at transcribing, and lots of dedicated listening hours

This is just a great Accordion tune and I love way you attack it... The Roland sounds very convincing  too... Is a chart still available for Fou Rire ?

[AccordionJo]

I've never seen a chart for Fou Rire; all the Galliano tunes I play I work out 'by ear'

@AccordionJo

It took a month.. but I finally worked it out by ear :-) Thanks for the inspiration to make the attempt.
