Whats with all this chinese crap? Does anyone know what Hohner
accordions and squeeze boxs are NOT MADE IN CHINA? I hear that the
Panther, the Double Ray and even the Corona II and III are slugged out
there.
Just because it's made in China codsn't mean it's junk. The Hohnica line
is contracted out by Hohner in China, but other lines of PA's are made
with Hohner's own machinery in China by Chinese technicians trained by Hohner in Germany. The button boxes have similar quality control. I
think only the custom made accordions are now made in Germany, but I can find out what Hohner says and get back to you. Or maybe other people
would have an opinion in the NG..
It's not only "quality" that I'm concerned about, I don't knowingly
spend money on stuff made by the commies. I can't seem to find out
anything from Hohner. This may not be news to some, but I discovered
this while trolling ebay and researching a Hohner concertina and the
HA2815 pokerwork button accordion. Most of the "Italian" accordions on
ebay turned out to be commie made when the sellers were pressed for the answer.
