How It's Made: Accordion

[Agatonga]

That girl is so pretty.

[AccordionManiac]

during the video I was thinking they were making some low end Hohner model.. at the end, i'm dissapointed to see it's a MORINO, once such good quality, that people still rather buy up to 50 year old Morinos than new ones.

[AccordionManiac]

other European made accordions don't rely on plastic like the Hohners in this video... right?

this is why Hohners are cheaper and absolutely not the best anymore

[Urgoth40]

Wow they tune each reed individually! God I feel sorry for the poor soul who has that job

[howva]

such a weirdo instrument.

[elaguerrini]

this is awesome ,this Hohner accordion is good but Guerrini and Dallape are the Best ...greetings from Bosnia..

[gorisan202]

i hated accordians before, but now that i see how they are made and how intricate they really are and how skilled you need to be to make and play them, i hate them even more

[juelz714cali]

Probably the most complicated instrument ever made!!!! 

[matt9741399]

@juelz714cali A close second to a pipe organ I'd say.

[lithium3fun]

@matt9741399 I wish it was a closer second. Then I could get one built in my house.

[yamahonkawazuki]

[Tuba408Bass]

The devil's instrument!

[shecky308]

Where can I buy hohner accordions?

[jorgechidote]

@shecky308 ebay :D lol. umm you can pretty much find them in any big city because they aren't that popular to be like in any store. look at the internet for the nearest store. good luck bro

[67odenkun]

I like the chick who plays at opening and ending.

[ishouldplayzelda]

wow, i didn't know accordions were so intricate, it's now my second favorite machine... right after the bucket chain excavator.

Hohner Amica IV, four reeds accordion is made in China? I don't know. But, Bravo III 96,120 ,three reeds accordions are made in China. In the video you would see they used plastic pads on the reeds chambers. But, this is not so nice as the leather pads in traditional accordions, it is not so air-tight and the bellows may fall more quickly

[tamyk007]

I prefer Bugari, Baile, Korean Accordion and even Pearl River accordion. Italian accordions with Romantic sound while Hohner with brilliant clean pitches.The lightest is Hohner Amica IV because the shell is not made in wood, only 9.8kg. and Bugari is 11 kg

[he214ab]

if i have money, i will own one

[angatxul]

Who's the chick playing at the end?

[MistrBedGaj]

Now I understeand why are accordions expensive instruments.

[VicksyCat]

Very informative. :3

[tamyk007]

I wonder what will happen when the rest of particules left in the bellows after you filed the reeds, it may rust and influence the sound.

[tamyk007]

I said so is I disassembled accordions and found there were metal waste on the reeds. They would not take it out. That is the fact. Mark my comment with -1 made no sense.

[lms264t]

I can't belive that Hohner would send out an expensive accordian without vacuuming out the metal particules. I wonder if they will relace the insrtument if the sound goes south.

[tamyk007]

I kept a Settimio Soprani, the brother of Paolo Soprani. Some reeds rusted and two leather pads covering the reeds stick to their individual chambers. There was no technicans for get it fixed, I opened the accordion and disassembled all reeds and put it back. It is much better now but the rusted reeds cannot be recovered. If you use vacuum cleaner to clean the particles, it may break the reeds.
