This accordion-type, that is, with this curved keyboard was only in 1932 - made 1938th Production was stopped probably because of high production costs, which is not surprising when one considers the ergonomic shape of the fingerboard and the shaping of the Clavishebel whose production must have been probably very time consuming.

This type of accordion i. e., with this oscillated keyboard, got only manufactured between the years 1932 and 1938. The production was terminated because the manufacturing cost was probably, due to the ergonomic shape, extremely time-consuming and with that, too expensive. In addition to that,  a lot of work was done by hand and also artistic work and with that the high manufacturing cost presumably no longer could meet with a competitive and marketable pricing policy.

How Long Does Shiraz Last Unopened

Hohner Accordion, Grand Model ", approx. Hohner Accordion


It's a pity, but this accordion contains no name or any type of description. Probably it was made at the end of the thirties (1937 ?). It has 41 treble keys as 120 bass keys and a push switch for the thumb ball. This switch / register serves for the combination of 4th reed block with the others. As a model with 4 reeds in the treble it was meant to be for professional use, already by that time.

Since 1937, similar models were also exported into the USA with following numbers and descriptions:

a) 330 Collegiate Model, with 34 treble keys  and 48 bass keys,
b) 340 Baby Grand Model, with 34 treble keys and 80 bass keys.

By the way, the retail price for the No. 330 amounted to $135,-, for the No. 340 = $ 165,-.

The a. m. model was at the time of purchase in a very bad condition. Him got lost almost all the reeds in the treble as well as in the bass part. Furthermore we missed among other things the straps-holders and the Kaliko of the bellows. Finally we did succeed in doing the repairs with the aid of an old, broken Verdi IV model from that we took away the reeds, cleaned and covered them with new plastic valves. The reeds, similar to the construction series, could now again be re-implanted into the other model. Naturally these repairs required, starting from the receipt of the spare parts until completion, a lot of time, labour and patience. Finally this patience however got rewarded suitably, as these photos impressively show.

 

Hohner Akkordeon, Grand Model ?, ca. 1937


Dieses Akkordeon trägt leider keinen Namen oder eine Typenbezeichnung. Wahrscheinlich wurde es aber Ende der dreissiger (1937 ?) built. It has 41 treble keys, 120 bass buttons and a thumb-index, at the discretion of the fourth Chorus can be added.
As vierchöriges model, it was probably already at that time for professional use.

a) 330 Collegiate Model, with 34 keys and 48 bass buttons,
b) 340 Baby Grand Model, with 34 keys and 80 bass buttons.

The purchase price for the no. 330 by the way was $ 135, - for the no. 340 = $ 165, -.

The above model was the purchase in a deplorable state. So he lacked almost completely the reed blocks in the treble and the bass part. Also were missing include the belt holder and the calico on the bellows. The repairs we was only using a 4-course old, broken VERDI IV model, which we took the reed blocks, they cleaned, re-occupied and the other model, there could insert the same series. Of course, these repairs were, from procurement of spare parts to completion much time, effort and patience. Ultimately, this patience was, however, as also shown in the photos are rewarded accordingly.

Moreover, the selling price for the Model No. 330 amounted to $ 135, - and the Model No. 340 = $ 165, -.

The above model, was at the time of purchase in a desperate condition. A lost almost all voices in the treble and the bass part. You missed the belts, their supports and Kaliko the bellows. Finally, in any case, we were successful with the repair, also finally with the help of an old, broken Verdi IV model of that we took away the voices, cleaned and covered them with new plastic valves. The voices of the same series of construction, were reimplatado in the other model. Naturally, these repairs, from purchase to completion, cost us much time, labor and patience.
