Members captaincaveman Posted October 28, 2004 Members Share Posted October 28, 2004 So I'm looking into buying a plain old acoustic accordian for something different. Naturally I'm considering Hohner. Their Hohnica line is a few hundred bucks cheaper. If there's anyone out here who knows, should I consider an entry-level instrument, or would I be kicking myself in six months for not having spent the money towards something a bit nicer? I've had good luck picking up new instruments in the past - how hard is the accordian? Also, how noticeable is the difference in sound to a new player? - CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Altered Flesh Posted October 28, 2004 Members Share Posted October 28, 2004 I dunno, does the Hohner have a Moog or Oberhiem filter?! I'm not sure we actually have any accordian players in here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Boom Posted October 28, 2004 Members Share Posted October 28, 2004 I'd play one if it were plugged into a wah pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pagan Posted October 28, 2004 Members Share Posted October 28, 2004 You can get more than couple of accordian and harmonic voices from any bread-and-butter keyboards today. Why bother with acoustic instrument? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sleepin' Deeper Posted October 28, 2004 Members Share Posted October 28, 2004 I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Whether or not you're crazy about the accordion, you have got to check out this guy: www.kimmopohjonen.com Nuff said! PS: I've got two of his albums and I've been to four of his shows, and I'm still in awe. And no, he's not a personal friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Purity_Control Posted October 28, 2004 Members Share Posted October 28, 2004 Not a player myself but I've seen them played live a few times. The bigger ones sound quite good. The little ones sound waily, cheesey as hell, and quite persistantly grating. No idea how easy they are to play, most seem to have a keyboard on one side and lots of buttons for the 'bass' on the other. If you can play keyboard fine with both hands, I don't imagine you'll have uber trouble getting to grips with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
