Thereare many nice instruments that can keep us satisfied and inspired. However, once you come across an exceptional quality accordion you know it from the first chord you play! We all deserve to find our ultimate accordion, the accordion we will never part with. Fortunately, we have different preferences and this makes the accordion world as exciting and colorful it is. I have found MY sacred accordion and I know how great it feels to be able to hear that dream sound each time you play. I am sure someone will soon feel the same way about the accordion I am presenting to you now.

The Hohner Gola has earned the respect of many who have been fortunate to play one. Each of these rare instruments have been custom crafted to the specifications of the buyer. Chip resetter canon. The company makes less than a dozen a year. The Gola remains the most expensive accordion and is believed by many to be the best. It combines the ultimate precision in mechanics with the most responsive reeds producing a magnificent tonal blend of treble and bass sounds. The harmonic richness, the warm clarinet sound, the chest-vibrating bassoon, the clear piccolo, the magic violin - all the reed combinations have their distinct charm! The Gola reeds are among the most responsive I have ever played. The accordion plays without any effort and allows you command of its entire dynamic range.
The original owner claims to have purchased the accordion new in the 1970s. However, based on its design I think it must have been built in the late 1950s. The serial number on the back of the accordion is 55225. The build number on all reed blocks and various parts of the accordion body is 118. The accordion was completely serviced at the Hohner factory in 2013 including all new hardware, rewaxing of the reeds, new reed valves, and buffing. The instrument looks like new but does produce the mature rich tone you would expect from the best Gola. All reed are original and only factory tuned on the inner side of the reed tongues. The reeds are absolutely pristine.Here i a video demo courtesy of Dallas Vietty, recorded at Libert Bellows in Philadelphia in 2014:

Since 1857, HOHNER produces musical instruments like harmonicas, accordions, melodicas, recorders, guitars and ukuleles of the highest quality.
The founder of the Hohner company is Matthias Hohner (1833 – 1902).
The German Harmonica and Accordion Museum in Trossingen, which houses the famous HOHNER collection, is simply unique and tells the HOHNER history like no one else. More than twenty five thousand different harmonicas and accordions, lovingly preserved by curator Martin Häffner, make up the largest single collection in the world. But the museum doesn‘t only exhibit musical instruments, it also shows rare films, recordings, sales displays, advertising posters, and much more. The exciting story of Matthias HOHNER, his rise to fortune and the assimilation of his numerous competitors is all documented in the main museum building. Special exhibitions are shown on the new premises a short distance away in Bau V, a huge former factory building on the original HOHNER factory site.
