Hohner Anacleto Latino

[TomBR]

I hadnt come across these until now, very flashy, top quality, hand-made reeds etc, small accordions, including an LMM 30/72. Clearly expensive and seem to be USA only.

Anyone have any experience or know anything about them? Is this the first ever Hohner 30/72 ?

Heres a Hohner page

Heres Liberty Bellows page, but no prices I can see (though thats of purely academic interest as far as Im concerned! )

There does seem to be a general coyness about prices....

Yes, you're right about that forum Russ, it's dedicated to the market these accordions are aimed it. Some write in English some in Spanish, my Spanish is only just up to the job of keeping track.

Good move from Hohner, good quality smaller instruments and with bling of your choice. I think Hohner are missing out here in the UK by apparently restricting their range
My wife may well have bought a Hohner Galaad Diatonic had there been more information and/or one to try, in the end she bought a Morgane(I think), with two extra buttons for accidentals. I wonder who Hohner subs the construction out to?

re Morgane - I think mine was made in Indonesia.

Indonesia! Good Grief. Does it make sense to ship every thing half way around the world. Interesting times?
