Anyone who has the ' intestinal fortitude' to pull on a up-tempo Dwayne Dopsie song is BRAVE in more ways than one...and you guys nailed it ! Thought the accordion could have been up in the mix a little more but that just may be the recording situation with the camera.

Couple of questions ;

How much of a workload is the Roland compared to a single row?
I ask because I'm currently recovering from shoulder surgery and anticipate my left shoulder strength will never be the same again.
I also ask because it seems that the bellows action you use is minimal....

Thanks for the kind words. Aren't we all BRAVES? It is easier to play than a conventional triple and a single row. You can adjust the bellows pressure. I leave it all the way up (max pressure) This way the pull gets you a lot of notes and on the push I use the air button and basses to get back to a closed position. I sometimes use the Nathan Williams technique of keeping the bottom bellows clip closed so it acts as a fulcrum so you only operate the bellows on the top. All in all a great purchase and highly recommended.

Appreciate your feedback.....

I'm planning to look/touch/feel one at a local suppliers business shortly.
My co-band member is a Piano Accordion and Single row player so we might end up on a joint venture with this one given local cost is $2800 US....he's also very interested ,but he's recovering from a badly broken left wrist following a fall from a step ladder..so the walking wounded will do the best we can with our assessment of the Roland.
It's possible I guess that Roland will produce a MKII version one day but this initial production certainly has a lot going for it.

I think you've changed the Roland cover plate for that Hurricane song..that one looks classier IMHO.

It's a Mariachi player with a skull for a head and tatoo art for the rest. Oh yea it's Classy!!!!!!!!

LOL..coulda fooled me..it looks like a non-descript soft image...

I had a thought for Roland's MKII version....LCD/LED moving display on the cover plate...even advertising to off-set the cost of buying the Roland in the first place...NO..I think I've lost the plot, delete that....think I'll have a lie down .( I've spent 30 years in Marketing..can't help myself !! )
