Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The FR-1X BK is a clever digital take on the accordion, offering a surprising amount of sounds and expression in a relatively portable package. It’s a great option for students, gigging musicians who need versatility, or anyone wanting to explore the accordion sound without the maintenance of a traditional instrument. The bellows sensor is particularly well-implemented, offering a surprisingly realistic feel.
