My first diatonic box! (Hohner HA-112)

[Zvon]

Bought this nice little diatonic box today. I know it's not special or rare but I like its looks, it sounds good, is pretty much in tune and very light.
I am used to piano accordions so I don't how much I will actually play it!

Very pretty!
Playing one is quite different to playing a PA.

That is a good master peace you have there.

Nice find! I have a 112 in C and I love it; it's amazingly powerful for such a small and light box, and it's ridiculously fun to play. I guess that in this case less is definitely more! I'm currently getting into Québécois music at the moment and it's pretty good for that, although ideally I want a 114 in D. What key is yours in?

Congratulations for your purchase. I have one of those and find it robust despite small size.
Diatonic accordions are a whole different world. With small bellows, you will learn air control by using back air valve.
Philippe Bruneau made a 33 rpm record in the 1970's using a 4 stop in D.

It's started to grow on me and it is a lot of fun to play. I'm certainly interested in a 114 and maybe a 113 too.

And don't forget the cap.
It's compulsory!!

Darn, I knew I was missing something...
...but at first I thought you meant the cap on the number of accordions one can own!

 

[Pipemajor]

number of accordions one can own!

That depends on the number of hiding places in your house!
