FR-1 JUNIOR CLASS
Small Size and Big Performance
Sound quality, small size, attractive price. The FR-1 button type sets a new standard in learning and live
performance in only 5.5 kg.
Moreover it is provided with a 62 button keyboard with 6 treble button modes (C-Griff Europe, C-Griff 2,
B-Griff Bajan, B-Griff Fin, D-Griff1, D-Griff 2) and 72 velocity-sensitive bass buttons (6 bass & chord modes to suit
your playing style). You can easily change the note assignments to the button keys and select the preset that suits
your playing style. You can even unscrew the black and white treble buttons and install them in the right places so
that the button layout corresponds to the notes being played.
Free Bass Mode and Bass to Treble Mode for even more exibility
The FR-1 gives you much more freedom in your performance, thanks to the Free Bass mode, which is chiey
used by musicians who want to play melodies and form their own chords with their left-hand (Bass&Chord
section).
A free bass system (3 free bass registers and 3 orchestral free bass registers) uses a button board of single-note
buttons with a range of three octaves or more.
The FR-1 can be used like a “Bassoon accordion”. In this mode the bass part is played with the right hand (the
bass and chord buttons are inactive)
Ideal for students…
Thanks to its small dimensions, the FR-1 is perfect for young beginners and music schools.
…and for performers
Compact, but with no compromise on sound quality, the FR-1 is ideal for stage performers and keyboardists.
Thanks to its long battery life, the player can walk easily on stage without worrying about time. 8 x AA type
2000mAH Ni-MH Batteries will give you more than 5 hours of playing time, so time is certainly not a problem
when you are playing the FR-1!
Make your FR-1 unique!
The FR-1 comes with 5 variations of inlay sheets which enable owners to change the appearance of their FR-1
from time to time by changing these sheets. The player can also create his/her own custom designed inlay sheets
using their PC and printer, or by using any kind of commercially designed paper.
