NAMM 2012 Reports and Photos

Re: NAMM 2012 Reports and Photos


Roland (and others before them) have been making dumbed-down pseudo-accordions for a number of years. It started with replacing real, hand-made reeds with plastic substitutes in a hybrid midi instrument. These "virtual" accordions have no reeds at all.

Sort of like marketing a driving simulator as transportation...........

We are seriously displeased.

The look on his face tells me these are pure accordion magic!

Pat, that's called "going bald".

Welcome to the club.

My son went ahead and "beat the curve"-he has been shaving his head (most of the time) since he graduated HS. He and a friend came home after the ceromony-shaved their heads and went to the parties.

My daughter was freaking out as they were doing it.

I just can't bring myself to do that-yet.
