Hohner 1140 in D or G?
« on: June 13, 2017, 06:18:54 PM »

Does anyone know if the Hohner 1140 one-row model was made in keys other than C? I've only ever seen them in C, but I'm potentially looking for one in G or D. Thanks.

They were made in G, I've seen several, but I've never seen an original one made in D.

Ditto ... I have one in stock in D ... similar to the instrument in the link below (which is in C). Th one I have is pitched in D and with the letter 'D' inscribed in the usual place on the end of the fingerboard suggesting it is all original.

I have one row Hohners in A, C, D, Eb, F. Attached is photo of 2 pokerworks in G, an old brown dome button in G and a blond presswood in D. All could be tuned to your specification.

I got twenty 1140s in D off Hohner one time. They found them sitting in the warehouse in Germany, and didn't know what to do with them. But Dave Wright, their rep. for Scotland and Ireland at the time did - he offered me a deal on them...  ;)

What's the difference between 1040's and 1140's?

Hohner numbering and model descriptions have got confusing/confused over the years, and sometimes they seem to have themselves forgotten what defines certain styles/models, whilst Hohner USA have been known to contradict Hohner Germany on such matters.  ::)

So 1040 was the model number for the old "blonde and brown" pokerwork 10-key Vienna accordion, and 2815 was its 2-row equivalent.

But then, in post-war years, Hohner Germany stopped making that finish, and switched to a black and gold "goldbrand" one instead, changing the model numbers to 1140, and 2915, respectively.

But, for reasons best known to themselves, Hohner USA retained the old numbers for the new models...  ???

To answer mselic's original question, I've had through my shop one row Hohners in: C, G, A, D, E, B, Bb, Eb, F. Most were 1040/1140 but there were other styles also.
There are pictures of some of them that are still around here:

They were made in G, I've seen several, but I've never seen an original one made in D.

I used to have one with the silver end papers...and still would have if I could remember who borrowed it....

That is a different model Baz, one with stops.   The ones we are discussing here are the ones with no stops and 4 bass buttons.  They have the same grill and end black bass end coves as are found on two row Hohners.

My understanding of 1040- was 10 button, 4 bass ,0 stop …that is  until I met 1140’s  :o, after that I just go with ‘1 row 4 bass ‘ whatever shape or finish they are. I had and still have more than reasonable number of them all different finish and shape LOVE them all.
Most mel netters might find odd but this are the most loved and played models than any other in our traditional dance music .   
Keys I have G,A,C,D  and C# (C# isn’t original I have converted me self) I have a spear set of Bb/Eb and VERY tempted to  convert 2 of them to Bb and Eb single rows to get a full house  >:E

Well,Edward, The bold Lester converted a 112 from C to F for me and it sounds great, so a 1040/1140 would sound as good I imagine..(sliding gently off piste here...)

invadm, I should have guessed!

Brian, having only just got my first Hohner 4 stop, I'm still getting used to the wall of noise which emanates from it. It's an entirely different kettle of fish to my 1140, although they're both in C. I think I still prefer my 1 rows to the 2 row types.

114's are very addictive Edward. Be very very careful.....
