Melodeons for Sale

Buy any of the smaller instruments on this page and you have the option of a new Italian made gig bag for an additional £24 (usually £32.50 inc carriage).

If you don't see what you want here it's always worth asking as I often have other instruments waiting for renovation.

If you have an instrument to sell I may be able to take it as a part exchange. I also offer a commission selling service.

Image of Hohner Erika/Club II - £500.00 (from) Hohner Erika/Club II

I can offer a variety of these lovely old wood bodied Hohners from the 1930s. They come in D/G, C/C#, C/F, Bb/Eb, with either the original reeds, or new Italian reeds. Other tunings available on request. Two voice treble and 8 bass. The extra 4 buttons add a great deal of extra potential in a box only slightly larger than a modern Hohner pokerwork.

Image of Hohner Piccola C/F - £550 Hohner Piccola C/F
This is the predecessor of the now very popular Erika or Club II model. It has the older style bellows with wide frames, but internally the same mechanics and reeds as the Erika. This has been overhauled, though not by me and is in good playing condition.		 £550 Enquire
