I was struggling to know how best to acquire an accordion that wasn't too expensive, yet would be easy to use as a beginner and would sound good. A friend recommended The Reed Lounge and I left a message on the site, saying what I was after. The next day I had a phone call from Murray saying that he had just got this Hohner Student V in (it hadn't been put up on the site at that point) and I could have first refusal on it.
I had it as a Christmas present from my family (it arrived free of charge to my home in Plymouth in a matter of days) and it has been absolutely perfect. I have played it every day since then and am progressing in leaps and bounds. It is a beautiful instrument and is proving to be excellent for me to learn on - especially as it has just 48 bass keys. I was very intimidated by all those black buttons!
I am so pleased as I would otherwise have probably bought a new Chinese model at a similar price, which I'm sure would have been no where near as good.
Another good thing about the Hohner, Murray says, is that it will hold it's value should I want to upgrade at some point. I can see that after a few months I may well need a few additional keys and bass notes...
I am absolutely delighted and I would heartily recommend putting your trust in the Reed Lounge for finding you the perfect accordion for your needs.
