As your playing experience develops, it will be versatile enough to allow you to expand into other genres of music. Three row accordions allow the versatility of "cross row" playing, to really get the accordion to sing.

Commonly Asked Questions:

Question: What types of music is the Hohner Panther used for-

Answer: We have seen the Panther used in so many types of music, this list is continually growing. The Panther is used in: Norteno, Tejano, Conjunto, Rock, Country, Cajun, Folk, Zydeco, Tex-Mex, Polka, Traditional, Rhumba, Samba and Waltz.

The Blues are a blast to play on the Panther. You will use the "pulled" notes on this accordion like you would use the "draw" notes on a harmonica. GCF accordions like the Panther are ideal for blues in A, C, D, E, G.

We often are asked: "I'm left-handed - Does Hohner make a left handed button accordion?"

The answer is No. If you speak with Matt here at Music For All, he'll tell you his wish is to be left handed, as lefties have a much better natural ability to work the Bass buttons on an accordion, than righties.

Question: How are the notes arranged?

Answer: The "In" Treble notes on a diatonic "button box" are arranged similarly to a diatonic harmonica, using the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes (the chord or triad) of the scale of C major. The notes of the scale of C major as you may know are: C, D, E, F, G, A, B.

On this model and other 3 row GCF Hohner accordions, the notes are:

1st Row - G

C# /E' G/A B/C D/E G/F# B/A D/C G/E B/F# D/A

2nd Row - C

F# / G# G/B C/D E/F G/A C/B E/D G/F C/A E/B G/D

3rd Row - F

E'/C# C/E F/G A/B' C/D F/E A/G C/B' F/D A/E


GCF bass buttons look like this:


Gmaj G Cmaj C Fmaj F In

Dmaj D Gmaj G Cmaj C Out

Emaj E Amaj A Bbmaj Bb In

Amin A Dmin D Bbmaj Bb Out

Anonymous User on 7/22/2008, said: If there is a better beginning button accordion than the Hohner Panther, I have not found it. A great value and affordable instrument for the beginning button box player. Children of five years-old and up can easily handle this instrument. It is light and extremely durable. For an instrument in the Panther's price range, the button board is extremely responsive. The reeds sound very nice with a slight musette; and the bass reeds, although not true helikon, are deep and resonate beautifully. The bellows provide plenty of air and the air valve works perfectly with only the slightest touch to expand or deflate the bellows while performing. I have demonstrated this instrument live in concert and, when miked properly, the crowd is amazed at what can be done with the Panther. I highly recommend the Hohner Panther.
