Hello! When I was living in South Korea a few years ago, I bought an accordian at an antique store as I have always wanted to learn how to play the accordian. It has no buttons or keys on the left side. It also has a placard saying that it was specially manufactured for Al Jamil stores. I have not been able to find any information online about my accordian. It says made in Germany and has a serial number. I was wondering if anyone here might have more information or have any knowledge about the model.
Hi Summer
I can forward the photo to the Hohner accordion service dept. and ask if they’re familiar with this model, but they are now on holiday until late August, so that may take a little while. They offer the following certification service for accordions, you can contact Mr. Tritschler directly at the email below:
For a flat fee of EUR 40.00 we will conduct an archive search to determine the age of your accordion. To do so, we will need the model designation or a photo of the instrument, plus the 5- or 6-digit serial number.
This will enable us to find the date of delivery from the factory. Please note that for models produced between 1930 and 1987 you will receive both delivery date and shipping location. For models produced after 1987, we can only provide the month of production.
This information will be sent to you in the form of a certificate. If you are interested, please pay the fee of EUR 40.00 to one of the bank accounts below, and send your full postal address and email to RTritschler@hohner.de
As soon as we receive the fee, we will select the data and send the certificate by post and e-mail to the address given in the next few days.
