Re: First live performance with my FR-18

Hey Dwight,

Wondered what opinion you had on the ' playability' of your Fr-18. Is it a heavy monster, is the bellows action light and friendly and not require arms like Dwayne Dopsie.
I know Johnny Ace, BN and others gave some feedback but your feedback would also be appreciated...particularly regarding the ease of handling of the instrument, and not the technical fingering stuff necessarily.

Reason I ask is that since my shoulder surgery I find I don't quite have the strength or endurance on the Cajun box. I'm also getting more interested in the versatility both diatonically and technically that a new generation 3 row gives.
