The Bravo Series sets the gold standard for students and beginners. The bigger brother to the Bravo III 80, the Bravo III 96, offers everything a beginner and advanced learner needs in an accordion. The typical HOHNER sound is combined with a low weight, for your first steps on “the boards that mean the world”.

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 their class. The larger 72 bass accordions are also exceptionally light, weighing 7.4 kilograms.

The Bravo III has a range of additional features including the silent key - a newly designed key mounting which minimizes key noise, a new treble grill - in order to give the accordion a more modern and stylish look, and an optimized bass mechanism - to guarantee smooth and almost wear free operation of finger sliders.

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.
