You are bidding on a Vintage Hohner Piano Accordion.

My Grandmother played this accordion in her high school marching band in the early 1940s. She graduated in 1942. I don’t think it has been played much since then, I have no memories of Grandma ever playing the accordion. Grandma stored her accordion in her bedroom closet, but it has been moved around over the past few years. It does have a slight old and dusty/musty smell, but that seems to more the case than the accordion.

The accordion is in great condition and I believe that it has a good sound.

All the keys and buttons seem to work.

There are a few chips out of the plastic façade.

All the leather straps are intact and sturdy, but do show wear and some discoloration. One shoulder strap is beginning to tear in the middle.

The green felt below the keyboard has worn away.

The buttons are discolored.

The bellows look good, but the vinyl does seem to be cracking in a few of the creases.

The piano keyboard measures 15 ½” across (from white key to white key).

The accordion comes in its original hard case. The case is in poor condition, but still does a good job of protecting the accordion.

The top lid of the case has duct tape along most of the edges. Some of the duct tape has ripped or is falling off.

The plywood has broken at the hinge on the back upper left corner. That hinge is loose and the lid ‘falls’ to that side when it’s open.

The hinges and latches are functional, but do have some rust-type spots. The front latches have lost most of their ‘spring,’ but the case does close tightly. There is no key to the latches.

The inside is lined with a purple felt and there are some brown stains throughout. The lining is also pulling away from the sides in several areas – some are held down with duct tape.

The right riser on the bottom of the case wiggles, but the left one is tight.

There is a sticker on the back rim of the upper lid that reads: “Design patented Oct. 6, 1931  No: 85280  Other patents pending.”

The case measures: 18 ½” wide  x  16 ¾” long  x  9” tall.

Included with the accordion are Grandma’s song books and sheet music.
