Re: Crazy Hohner Accordeon on Ebay. Never seen anything like it

Jim is your Hohner A long reed plates or individual ?

Re: Crazy Hohner Accordeon on Ebay. Never seen anything like it

I have a similar 1926 3-stop box, with no bass reeds.

Re: Crazy Hohner Accordeon on Ebay. Never seen anything like it

Bohemian- It has individual reeds. Missing 3 plates (technically 6 reeds... I'm constantly fighting the habit of labeling a reed plate a reed), on one mid bank. Got any? And it seems I cannot find the chord plate for the bass side...

Reason I thought the Ebay item was a prototype for the 114, was the time tested tacky floral designs

Re: Crazy Hohner Accordeon on Ebay. Never seen anything like it

I have a full set of A reeds from an HA 112 dating to the fifties

It is of course mm.......

In Catalogue No. 700 (c.1930) it's listed as "Large size German type of Hohner model No. 724/10/4. Size 12 1/4 X 6 7/8 inches, 10 button keys with brass valves, 4 sets of steel reeds, octave tuning, metal stops, treble and bass parts decorated with gold leaf, Stradella corners, 12 fold bellows with 2 centre frames and leather fittings.



There were earlier 4 stops, but not with pokerwork decoration.
