The Bravo Series sets the gold standard for students and beginners. The rugged and musically versatile instruments in this series offer performance features previously available only in considerably more expensive instruments. A good example is the Bravo’s incorporation of the T-keyboard mechanism, offering outstanding playability and ease of service.

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.

Chromatic Accordions
The chromatic accordion is a very versatile instrument. The right hand operates a piano or button keyboard and can be played in all keys like the piano. The left hand operates the buttons of the standard bass. 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 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.
