Hohner club numerals
deltasalmon:
This discussion mentioned the Hohner Club IV and stated that it was a 3-voice MMM club box. There is an ebay listing for a Hohner Club II B box that I saw and it made me wonder, what do the numerals and/or letters in the Hohner Club names mean?
Usually I would assume IV means a 4-voice but it looks like that's not right.
Theo:
Hohner Club numbers don't tell you anything about the number of voices.
Club 1 is two voice
Club 2 is two voice,
Club 3, and most others are three voice
Club 235 is 4 voice
and there are other names and numbers too, but don't expect them to have any logic that you can decode.

As far as i know :
club modell I : 2 voices MM, i once read (but where, maybe here ?) about one factory tuned LM
Club modell II : 2 voices MM
Erika : same as above, but with wood finish (i want one !)
Club model III : 3 voices MMM
Club II B : 2 voices MM
Club II B Victoria : exactly the same as above but badged "Victoria" (who knows...)
Club III B : 3 voices MMM
Club III B F : 3 voices MMM, 1 switch to obtain MM or MMM
Club III B S : 3 Voices LMM, 2 switch, you can obtain M, MM, LM, LMM
Club III B R : 3 voices, don't know more about tuning and switch
Club III M : 3 voices LMM, 5 automatic switch, can obtain M, L, MM, LM, LMM
Norma III : there is two models with this name, the older is exactly the same as Club III BS and the recent is exactly a Club III M (and even called "Club III M Norma III")
Club III M and Norma III badged "de luxe" have extra low reed with switch on the bass sides
Club IV : Different sources indicates different reed's configurations so...
Club Ouverture (the black recent modell, don't know much about pre-war ones) : 4 voices LMMM, 7 automatic switches, 10 basses with extra low reed
Club Ouverture V : 5 voices, LMMMH, 10 automatic switches, extra low reeds on basses
Morino Club N : 5 voices, LMMMH, Low reeds in cassoto, 10 automatic switches, 12 basses with extra low reeds
Other modell : don't know
Etienne:
And there is the hohner club X, everybody hopes it don't have ten voices.
