I don't recognise it - but it looks ok for £146?

depending where you exchange (or if you have a Nationwide a/c) the Euro is around 86p... 0,86 x 145 .... £125 give or take a bit of change .....  |

0,86 x 145 .... £125 give or take a bit of change Um..I was calculating on the basis of the Buy It Now Price which is 170 euros which works out at £146 AL |

I used to have a Horch 5-row CBA 3v 96 bass.
Good playing accordion, but typical Klingenthal (weltmeister, royal standard, etc.) quality, both in terms of reed quality and craftmanship. It needed some attention, and still it did not have the sound or feel of an italian box.
This little thing looks like a decent box after some attention, though I've seen somwhat similar boxes at lower prices.

Danish and Irish one- and two-row melodeon. I like old, powerful boxes, and the related styles. Yup, loud and obnoxious:)

Horch? Weren't they members of the pre war Auto Union race car manufacturers along with Adler, DKW and Audi or someone? Now either they are supercharged boxes or hard to handle, but so where the Mercs according to Lewis.
Old Bill.
postscriptum:-This is Old Racers board, isn't it?

Bill,
Both were built in Saxony, but the grilles were different. One of them at least was a decent touring box though!  |
