Engineering and artistic design intersect in this delightful 48 bass chromatic accordion by Hohner, a company that has been revered for its exacting standards of manufacture for generations. This Nova II 48 bass chromatic button box has been carefully crafted to restrict the air flowing into the mechanism by means of the ascetically pleasing and carefully created holes in the grill. By allowing only as much air into the instrument as the reeds need to sound, Hohner has created an extremely responsive accordion that is ideal for beginners as well as accordionista's who are interested in playing Cajan and Folk music.
