Accordion

Hi. I’ve just bought a Hohner Verdi, 37 key, 80 bass buttons. The serial number is 143988. It says a Verdi 1 N but i wonder if one number has fallen off? I’d also like to know which year this was made please?

The Hohner Accordion Service Dept. offers the following service for customers enquiring about the provenance of their accordion. You’ll need to send photo, model name and serial no. directly to the email address below. Hope that helps!

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 following days.
