Re: Good Deal?

I was able to open the link ..

It is a "Hohner 3100GB Panther Diatonic Button Accordion key of G"

(Which is a 3 row).

Dang, you'd really need to play it to determine quality :-(
And, to determine if it is an appropriate instrument for you.

I have not played one, so I really cannot comment.

I've tried "budget" 3-rows in music stores, and they're made from
mostly plastic. If that doesn't bother you, you may be OK with it.

Probably the most serious issue is if the reeds are any good and that
they "voice" consistently from reed to reed. And, that the bellows
isn't leaky or spongy.

Sorry I can't be of any more help!

Re: Good Deal?

When I open the link it's a HA-114 in C for $759 and free shipping, but doesn't say if used or new.

Re: Good Deal?

That's odd -- the accordion I was talking about was THIS one http://www.ebay.com/itm/HOHNER-DIATONIC-VIENNA-BUTTON-CAJUN-ACCORDION-KEY-C-w-PLAY-BOOK-HA114-/380892478269?_trksid=p2054897.l4275

Re: Good Deal?

No worries though -- I found an older (german) HA-114 near to where I live.

I think I am going to go with this one

Thanks though guys

Re: Good Deal?

Good choice, the old German ones sound much better than the new ones, in my opinion.
