DaveGD: Online, I find only the descriptions of the current Hohner Morinos and Atlantic models. They are well described by Hohner on their site as well as some dealers. But I think the models you mention are older ones. Unless you happened to find a very knowledgeable dealer, your best bet might be contacting Hohner headquarters in Germany. I know HohnerUSA has parts and services all their accordions, but for model-specific information, the company headquarters may be your best option.

Ok - there is debate about validity of some of information surrounding this as various Hohner administrations changed what the suffixes meant.
Firstly the following is certain:
Morino IV was 4 treble reeds & V was 5.
N,T&S related to model releases/facelifts but may have also had other connotations (see below).
Atlantic III was 3 treble reeds & IV was 4.
But note for info & confusion: Verdi Vs have 4 treble reeds & Verdi II has 3... but only 96 bass .. hence me saying the letters number meanings altered...
Atlantic NT&S also came in Deluxe models which included wrist master coupler & sometimes gold look bright work (bellows corners) and possibly better reeds (unsure).
There is Atlantic Musette (LMMM) models that are described as French tuning but a lot think are nearer Scottish - pretty wild.
N,T & S were definately chronological model facelifts, 'S' being the latter.
Then, because these are not in alphabetical order, there is speculation that they had some additional connotation - for example: 'S' also maybe indicated Scottish tuning (on Morinos) & 'T' indicated new keyboard mechanics design - both of which I've seen in official print - but there are some elements that don't make sense to me.
So bring on the arguments... :shock:
