V-Accordion Naming History


V-accordion Naming History
(From "Accordions Worldwide")

In 1967 Ikutaro Kakehashi, the founder of the Roland
Corporation, a leading manufacturer of electronic musical
instruments, travelled to Italy and had the chance to meet some
accordion craftsmen in the Castelfidardo area. He was so
fascinated by this instrument that he bought two accordions to
bring home and started to cherish the dream of creating an
electronic accordion.
This dream was later on supported also by Francesco Rauchi and
Luigi Bruti in Roland Europe S.p.A., a member of the Roland
Corporation group located in Europe, namely in Acquaviva
Picena, in the Marche region.
Thanks to the advanced state-of-the-art achieved by the digital
technology, Roland could finally add another milestone in the
history of digital musical instruments: the V-Accordion, namely
the “Virtual Accordion” equipped with a powerful digital
modelling technology.
Francesco Rauchi passed away prematurely and could not see
that dream become true. But to honour his memory the models
of the V-Accordion line-up are identified with the “FR
acronym.

Great Accordion Player Maestro Javad Alivandi




Visiting greatest Tabrizian/Iranian accordion player/repairer Maestro Javad Alivandi

in his house in Tabriz :

He was born on 1942.His father and grandfather were musicians so he had the opportunity to study music with them.He used to be a member of many orchestras in Tabriz and Tehran.He has some great works in Azari music as well as some new arrangements in folk music.

He also has made a new mechanism to invert standard sound of a key to 1/4 tone(Mechanically) in accordions.

In one word he is a real monster of accordion.
