Why Hohner Accordions?
While the history of the accordion goes back to the early 1800s, German Musical instrument company, Hohner began the music instrument business primarily as a harmonica company in 1857.
Hohner Accordions from Germany
Like Hohner Harmonicas, the Hohner Accordion is a name which is strongly associated with quality among accordionists. It wasn’t until the late 1800s that Hohner Accordions were being produced in significant quantities in Germany. With the huge popularity of accordion music in the 1930s., Hohner became a leading brand all over the world. Even as accordion music declined in popularity from the 1950s to the 1960s, Hohner continued making them, as well as shifting some of their focus to other, electronic instruments. You can thank the famous Saturday evening Lawrence Welk show for bringing back accordion music in the 70’s and Hohner produced a flurry of tremendous instruments in every decade before and after.
