HOHNER BRAVO III 72 BASS RED PIANO ACCORDION 

The Bravo Series sets the gold standard for students and beginners. With 72 basses and three voices, this big boy is the perfect companion for you if you’re looking for an accordion suitable for learning as well as solo and orchestra performances.

The HOHNER project team was led by the input of both accordion teachers and students regarding another important aspect of design: the instrument should be as light as possible, especially for the youngest pupils. The 48 bass accordions weigh only 4.9 kg (10.8 lbs.), making them perhaps the lightest available instruments in their class on the market. The larger instruments are also exceptionally light.

The Bravo Series, designed for students and beginners, offers performance features which had previously only been avaliable in considerably more expensive instruments, such as the T-keyboard mechanism which offers outstanding playability and ease of service. It sets the gold standard for learner instruments.

The input of teachers and students has greatly influenced the HOHNER project team during the production of The Bravo Series. This lead to one of the main goals of the design - that the instrument should be as light as possible, mostly to accomodate for the younger pupils and to increase playability. The smaller 48 bass accordions of the series weigh only 4.9 kg, making them perhaps the lightest available instruments in there class. The larger 72 bass accordions are also exceptionally light, weighing 7.4 kilograms.

The instrument itself (a chromatic accordion) is a very versatile instrument. As the left hand operates the buttons of the standard bass, the right hand operates a piano or button keyboard which can be played in all keys like a piano. The standard bass is split into bass and chord rows. The playing of the right hand resembles the style of accompaniment traditionally given by a bass or rhythm guitar. Therefore, together the chromatic accordion player has actually three instruments available: A melodic instrument (right hand), a bass and a harmonic accompaniment (left hand) - and this for all the pitches and keys.

The accordion also comes with a padded gig bag and straps.
