Swapping bass end on a Hohner Student II with one from a Student IV??

Anyone think it'll work? The treble side looks identical

Try it and let us know... it worked for Frankenstein! lol...

Probably. I have interchanged different treble/bass sections as well as bellows on other Hohner models - I was surprised to find this but it makes sense. Mass scale production is best served when parts between models are interchangeable.

I'd be amazed if it didn't work.

I've swapped Hohner Student PA bodies with Hohner Amati CBA bodies in the past, just to see if it could be done.

My experience was that they're pretty uniform in sizing and matched exactly.

As long as the bellows are the same size you should be good to go.

You might have to modify the placement of the escutcheons if the dimensions are equal between the 2.
