Hohner pokerwork or equivalent. My students seldom have very much money so I can't offer the earth but it would be a good home for a box, with an appreciative user. Let me know by pm or on this thread if you have one lying around that you don't use or one you'd like to sell. Thanks Ian |

02 Dec 10 - 04:14 AM (#3044696) Subject: RE: G/D Melodeon needed for a student From: IanC Thanks, I do look at that but they're usually better (and thus more highly priced) boxes. :-) |

However, I replaced a total of 14 springs for someone on a Chinese box, now about 3 years old, over the course of a year (it was only 1 year old when the 1st spring broke). Makes you a bit wary. My 32 year old German D/G Pokerwork has never had a problem, has an excellent action and I love it. It doesn't look so good now but has been an absolute treasure. :-) |
