Been here for ages!
just use a string bass tone + accordion sound on the chords
maybe that compromise will feel better for your ear

I had the same problem a few years ago. I contacted Hohner and was directed to an authorized repairman six miles from my house. I made the appointment and met him at his garage workshop. He inspected it and ordered the part. Later, between us we removed the bass end I held it while he replaced the entire bass end, swapping out the serial number stickers. It’s worked fine ever since. I have tinkered with about eight PAs before and it was strange to see no reeds inside.See:
Problem with new Roland FR1x
I bought a Roland FR1x in June this year, and loved it right away, (especially the musette sound.) But in August, the left hand strap suddenly gave way inside the instrument. Fortunately the dealer, Roxys in Batavia NY, US, was understanding and sent me a new instrument to replace it. Now I was...www.accordionists.info
Swapping out for a new part would have been my preference as well, as opposed to a DIY fix. But I couldn't really find an entrance how to go about ordering that wihout knowing details like part number or where to order. Would be nice to know if that could still be done today, even after shutdown of the FR1x production.I had the same problem a few years ago.

I have a 1x but lust after a 4x - not altogether sure why. I would be interested in such comparison of the two as you might offer us all.I just ordered one. An addition to my other accordion, FR4x. Yes it is smaller, but may have some entertainment value?
Welcome. PA or CBA? I have used non-Roland USB sticks in my FR-1x without any problem. You can put the Dallapé extension on the 1x - it has to be loaded, not played from the stick - but you then have to choose between the Alpine and AccOrchestra extensions if you want to add more, since the 1x only has room to hold two extensions at a time. What is played directly from the stick is any audio backing files that you want to use, though you need to make your own title crib sheet as they will only be identified on the 1x display as a number.Roland recommends their own flashdrive but ...
I guess any reliable 2Gig would do.
Don't think the Dallapé is for the 1X - could be wrong.
