HOHNER MIGNON 8 BASS STRAP STUCK QUESTION
« on: March 29, 2016, 06:05:23 PM »

Is this accordion to have one or two back straps? I have one that only looks like it has one back strap and a second might not hook up or work. Any pics of the set up? Thanks for the help Ron

The one I've seen had two shoulder straps made of fairly narrow plain un-padded leather.  You may need to find a leather worker to make up a set.

 Do you know if the straps were adjustable? I just got a mignon but need straps or at least know what to make. There is one strap on it but no adjustment and seems very short or I'm toooo big, FAT. Thanks Ron

I find playing a piano accordion difficult with only one strap. You don't tend to play it like a melodeon, with your right hand jammed against the edge of the keyboard. I think you need two straps.

How do you get this Mignon 8 bass off! Do all adults change the back strap so you can fit. I'm stuck. Guess this will be a necklace! Where do you get straps to work for it. I need the Jaws of life! Any help would be great! Fast! Thanks Ron
