Hi, can anyone tell me if the accordion in the attached picture is a Hohner? I have searched the Hohner website and online and cannot find any reference to a black one row with this particular logo.  Any help would be appreciated.

For a small while Hohner sold their 114 1 Row 4 Stop painted black like this and, if memory serves, sold them a Cajun Melodeons. Whether the tuning was any different from the standard Hohner indifferent tuning I don't know. Nice box though.

Or perhaps it's been sprayed black and retaped. I've done that to an old 114 and very nice it looks too. ( I get bored terribly easily )

[Jerry Scott]

Thanks for the info and feedback - appreciate it.

No, that's the original finish and lettering.

Are the stops real on that model Rees?

[Graham Spencer]

Sorry to jump in, Rees!  Yes, it's a bog standard 4-stop 1-row with a stealth paint job.........

As I said above it's just a 114 in black

Thanks for all the replies.  I have a chance to buy it at a very good price but I'm not in the same area so I can't see it in person.  The color and logo was unfamiliar to me so I wasn't sure if it was a knock-off or a real Hohner.  Based on your comments it looks legit and a good deal so I'll probably grab it.

it is indeed an original Hohner Cajun model..tuning is little differnt to standart 114 but is a HA114- and i have one.

[melodeon]

HA114B...Drier tuning, better bellows tape. Stenciled "HOHNER" logo.

[Maki]

I have one.

I have one which I bought from Pete at Hobgoblin a LONG time ago...the quality of the bellows seems better than on my "standard" 114s. As others have said, a fine box...

Would be really impressive if it had been painted with Vanta black.

What's Vanta black Kimric ?

My mate hasone, had it for many years now, and is lending it to me for a gig soon.  Trouble is, the bellows are still stiff even after a couple of decades!  He favours an old, out of tune three-stop when practicing rather than the pain of fighting with those "improved" bellows.
