Rick,
Your welcome. I appreciate the kind words. As a FYI I just purchased a second hand Hohner HA 114 (made in Germany). Looking forward getting started once I receive it. Thanks, Gene
p.s. Please continue to remember and support all our troops currently in harms way!

Gene,
I'm sure that during your military US time you've met some of your Canadian military cousins whom have by all accounts bought praise and admiration by your own troup.
They also need to be remembered!.

Claude;
Absolutely! Not only do I have praise and respect for my Canadian cousins but also the Aussies,Brits, Korean "ROKS" and all the other coalitions that were with us. This also now applies to all the present day troops who are aligned against the war on terror. Regards, Gene

I will guarantee that more good music has been made over the years on Hohners than so called "hand made" accordions
I appreciate the loyalty to brands such as Martin and Savoy but they are no more real than anything else
Real is Hohner, with mitres instead of time and cost cutting unsightly weak butt joints
Professional Irish one row players ( of extremely high skill level) such as Johnny Connolly still play Hohners. And if you ever get the chance to watch Denis Pepin of Quebec... guarantee he will blow your doors off with a lowly HA113 3 stopper...
The reason most folks who own boutique boxes brag them up is because they must to justify the expenditure,
No Hohner player will ever need to do that.
Play away on whatever blows your bellows.
BTW I have a picture of Nathan Abshire playing a Hohner. And lets see who is it that is an ex Pine leaf guy that plays old Hohner 2 rows ?
And Flaco and Flaco's father, Santiago, who started that whole tradition...Hohner.
Here is something I have had bookmarked and Andy linked on abnother box talk...
Another cheap lowly Hohner.. ( albeit a 2 row)
yes yes one must have a "handmade" box in order to play well...no doubt about it...
when this guy gets good maybe he'll move up to a boutique box.. meanwhile.. suffer

Randy,
I will give the Hohner a try and if all goes well in a few months I will explore other options. Hope to be able to send an updated thread in a few months on my progress or lack of progress. Thanks, Gene
