"B Stock" from a dealer.?

Is it Chinese made ? If so return it.

Buy a used German made 114.

I just bought an early 50's 114 in C in all original condition includint a cloth (original) not leather bass strap. These were the earliest.

The early German made units have better reeds, better materials and better workmanship.

B stock with a few scratches.. perhaps, but with the wrong bass reeds.. no way.

That isn't B stock, it's a defective, improperly built box. Off it.

I think he means that the accordion is the black 114 Hohner made for awhile which I think was called a B model?

"B" stock becasue of scratches according to the OP


HA114B had a black bellows and slightly not so wet tuning.
I owned one... good box but nothing special. I rebuilt mine on day one, I bought it new for $400 US.

Ah yes, I read the post again and saw that

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. After making some calls to see what can be done, I called Hohner to check on some parts prices and when I told them about my situation they said I could send it to them and they would either change out the reeds or send me a new accordion at no cost since it's a defect. I probably should have just called Hohner first, heh.
