We got a hot tip that Hohner will be introducing some new diatonic accordion models at the NAMM show in Anaheim starting January 18. But thanks to our accordion spies, we have a sneak peek for you today! Check out these three new Hohner models:
Corona II Supreme
To celebrate Hohner’s 150 year anniversary in 2007, a special edition model of the Corona II will be unveiled at the NAMM show. The Corona II Supreme will include upgraded materials, smoother keyboard action, and an improved look and accessories based on the Corona II Classic. Since it’s a special edition, it will have a limited production run.
Compadre
A new addition to Hohner’s economy line, the Compadre is a 2-voice, 3-row diatonic model with features similar to the Panther. It has a few new design features, as well as new color and key options.
El Rey de Vallenato
Another new economy model, El Rey de Vallenato is a 3-voice, 3-row diatonic accordion with the same design as the Compadre, but with Vallenato tuning.
Prototypes of each model, as well as further details, will be available at the NAMM show this week. Hohner anticipates that these models will be availble to the public starting in April. So start saving up for your shiny new Hohner now!

Wow… this limited edition is of the hook. Though, what will the price be for one of these?
by Felipe Moreno on January 19th, 2007
Felipe, someone on the Reyes Forum said they talked to a Hohner rep and the rep said the Corona II Supreme’s estimated price is $2,095.00. I don’t know if that’s 100% reliable info, though; we’ll probably know more after the NAMM Show is over.

WHAT WILL THE HOHNER CORONA II SUPREME COST ON YOUR WEBSITE AND WILL YOU BE ABLE TO GET IT IN RED GCF SOL ? THANKS JOE IN CHICAGO
by JOSE on April 12th, 2007
Jose, we don’t sell any accordions on our website — we just talk about them. I’d recommend checking with a local accordion dealer in Chicago. (If you need help finding one, try asking at the Chicago Accordion Club).

hey i was wondering if ya’ll don’t sell bellows like the ones in the supreme corona II accordion. And do the new accordions “El Rey Del Vallenato” sound like acorona III?
Thanks,
Hector
by Hector on May 11th, 2007
Hector, we don’t sell any accordions or accordion parts (bellows included); in fact, we don’t sell anything.
I haven’t played the new “El Rey de Vallenato” yet, but you might want to ask around on the Reyes Accordions forum — I’m sure someone there has.
by Chris on May 11th, 2007
HAS ANYONE HEARD OF THE HOHNER CORONA SUPREME ARRIVING IN THE USA YET? THERE IS A DEMO-VIDEO ON REYES ACCORDIANS IF ANYONE WANTS TO HEAR IT THEY SOUND PRETTY GOOD , BUT HOW THEY COMPARE TO A GABBANELLI/ DINO BAFFETTI , OR EVEN A WELTMEISTER REMAINS TO BE SEEN . THE MARKET IS PRETTY TIGHT DOWN IN TEXAS / CALIFORNIA , I JUST LUVZ ME SOME TEJANO CONJUNTO MUSIC ,DOWN IN TEXAS , THEY EVEN CAME OUT WITH A GAVILAN ACCORDIAN , MADE OF LEATHER AND WOOD I BELIEVE , WELL THANKS FOR BEING JOE

hey how could i buy the 1 hohner supreme accordion. i have a hohner classic 11 accordion but i want a supreme accordion.
by juan galvan on August 24th, 2007
Juan, try your local accordion dealer or somewhere online like Reyes Accordions or Karlito’s Way.
by Chris on August 26th, 2007
Hey there! I wonder whether the “Rey de Vallenato” might be a good beginner’s accordeon. I want to start playing vallenato soon — but don’t have any accordeon experience at all so far. Would you recommend this one or a less fancy one to begin with? I appreciate your opinion,
Fabian
by Fabian on August 27th, 2007
Good question, Fabian. I’ve heard good things about the “Rey de Vallenato” but I’ve never heard one in person. I also know that it’s more expensive than a Panther or Compadre so, if you’re just starting out, you may want to start with one of the cheaper models and then work your way up.
For a first-hand view, I’d recommend asking over on the Reyes Accordion forums. I’m sure the folks there can give you more information.
by Chris on August 28th, 2007
Hey I just stumbled into your website. I love Tejano/Conjunto button accordion music and I have a Hohner Corona 11 classic. I am always looking for quality instructional videos to learn in my own time. I have two videos already but would like more. I have searched the web for many hours but I am very cautious as to the quality and user friendly of the videos. I read that Hohner is coming out with new style accordions, GREAT. However I do reccomend that for someone who is starting to learn the accordion to start off with a Hohner Panther like I did. They are super quality and affordable. Shop around on the net and you will find a great price. Look at “Music Friend” website or “Reyes Accordions”

Tnx a lot, Chris… ;)
by Mauro on December 17th, 2007
Chris, just one thing: Flaco plays 2 voices Corona 2 model?

by Dino Henriques on January 28th, 2009
Hey Joe in Chicago, (Or anyone that can help me with my search) I am familiar with the Badassaccordion site from California. I have contacted the the person who sells the instructional DVD’s. However I am trying to contact another guy in California that goes by “ELCESAR” to buy some from him. I know he is on YOU TUBE but I was wondering if you or anyone may have heard of him and may have a contact phone number or email.
Thanks,
Paul
