Roland FR7X - secondhand in UK

[sh9193]

I'm thinking of purchasing an FR7X, realising that Roland no longer make them. Where in the UK can I buy a good condition secondhand one?

I happened to notice this today in the new listings. I have no connection to it and its 3000 miles away so I couldnt help out with an appraisal.

You might try Mike O'Regan on the V-accordion forum.
He's always helpful and certainly has his finger on the V-Accordion pulse!

If you want an FR7B then I can help you!!!

Still useful info, Sky
a) It gives another idea of values...
b) Ive imported accordions from people whose ads said local only, so you never know if that was just left there form a prior post/draft.

Theres a decent looking FR7 from a dealer here:

Sorry if its no use, I dont know what the difference is compared to the FR7X model.

I played the FR-7 for 6 years and If you don't mind not having a USB port as the FR-7x has, the FR-7 will suit you just fine.

When in Oslo recently, I heard an FR7X being played to good effect. I'm still very keen on purchasing one.

How did you get on with our previous suggestions?

I know its not an X but given JIMDs comment, have you seen this?

There doesn't appear to be anybody in the UK who fits bellow straps retrospectively..... :roll:

 

[sh9193]

It's a piano accordion I'm looking for, not a button.....but thanks anyway.

All very helpful, thanks. I still, however, would require to try before I buy. I've heard there'rs a good shop on Morecambe and one in Edinburgh.
