Bugari Evo demo
JIM D. said:There are fellow accordionist's & members here that prefer an acoustic box for practice & entertaining.
Of course I respect their preferences and enjoy playing my own acoustic accordions.
I've owned models of Roland digital accordions for 15 years now and come to realize that in 98% of my
performances, audiences & fellow musicians prefer me entertaining with a digital. There are exceptions
as if the group I work with has a bass & guitar player, well I prefer using an acoustic.
There are other benefits with a digital as a duo will sound like a trio, a trio will sound like a quartet and so on.
We all have preferences and I respect them. But you must admit that these YouTube digital performances with their
digital expansion sounds are VERY ENTERTAINING !!

John,
Thanks for the clips. Sorry we didn't get your stories :-/, but I know what you mean by the site crashing: ran into that myself .
All this digitalisation reminds me of a sewing exposition I attended (to humour my wife).
One section of the expo was occupied by a series of "sewers" (as in needle and thread) enjoying tea and cake, while the digitalised sewing machines industriously got on with a variety of complicated stitching and embroidery, by themselves! :huh:
I guess, that's the coming future of instrumental music: a bunch of instruments playing themselves, while the musicians sit around having coffee and cake!

Make your selection with the correct input code and away you go. I actually like the sound of those, but wish they made them so they always finished a tune with the bellows closed. Spoils the whole experience.
Hello debra said:I watched these demos. I specifically want the accordion sound. For that it's nice that in this demo they play through the built-in speakers and record that instead of plugging in a jack. When plugged in the Evo is just a Roland. But unplugged you can hear what the wooden box does and I must say in the demo the accordion sounds are clearly better than what I have often heard from a Roland. Very interesting because the electronics is the same.
Of course it's not a surprise that the box really matters. That is true for acoustic accordions as well.
