Nicely restored Hohner button accordion in the keys of AD circa 1925. This was made in Germany in the Hohner factory. It is in very good condition overall. The embossed and painted wood case is in excellent shape but shows normal wear for an instrument of this age. It has 21 treble buttons and 8 bass buttons. The low buttons on each row of the treble side are the standard Hohner accidentals. The original treble, chord and bass reeds are steel on individual zinc plates have the ‘T’ marking. The original leather one way valves were all removed and replaced with modern plastic one way valves for long trouble free life. All reedplates were removed, cleaned, one-way valves replaced and remounted and rewaxed onto the reedblocks. Bass valves have composite valves. Final tuning occurs in situ with the reedblocks inside the case.
As the photo shows, the metal grill is in great shape and recently painted. The original front and rear grill clothes are still intact and look great. The wooden keyboard is intact with no cracks or missing pieces. This has the desirable stepped keyboard which provide button travel limiting.
