Vintage Hohner Liliput Club Diatonic Button Accordion Bb/Eb - A=440 Pitch - Mint Bellows w/ Original Case

Up for sale is a remarkably well-preserved, pre-war Hohner Liliput Diatonic Button Accordion. Manufactured in Germany between 1935 and 1940, this miniature "Tornister" hiking melodeon is legendary for its ultra-portable footprint (measuring just under 9 inches across) and punchy acoustic projection.Unlike most estate-find Liliputs floating around online, this specific instrument is fully functional, airtight, and ready to play immediately.

Key Technical Specs & Condition Details:Key Configuration: Standard "Club" layout featuring a 21-button treble keyboard and an 8-button bass/chord system.Tuning Factory-Set to Bb/Eb: Highly desirable key combination for folk, session, and traditional music styles.Modern Pitch Baseline (A=440Hz): Crucially, this unit is pitched to the modern A=440 concert standard rather than the unplayable pre-war European A=435Hz factory standard. It plays with a beautiful, characterful, and slightly mellow vintage drift ("dry tremolo") across the reeds.

Airtight Bellows: The bellows are in exceptional structural condition with excellent compression. No dry rotting, no leaks, and no major corner wear.

Aesthetics: Gorgeous purple/grey marbled celluloid finish that remains vibrant and free of structural cracks or shrinkage.

Original Case Included: Includes its original, structurally sound wooden hardshell carrying case with functional latch hardware and handle.This is a rare opportunity to own a gig-ready, lightweight (~4.5 lbs) piece of accordion history that can actually jam with modern guitars and fiddles right out of the box.
