Owner’s Manual
Thank you and congratulations on your choice of the Roland FR-18 diatonic V-Accordion.

tonic accordions. Its major advantage is that it allows you to change sounds, keyboard layouts (tablatures) and key note
without changing instruments. Apart from the financial benefit, this also means that you can use your familiar playing
style and techniques while covering a host of different musical genres.
To ensure that you obtain the maximum enjoyment and take full advantage of your FR-18 diatonic, please read this
owner’s manual carefully.
