Vintage Hohner accordion Tango V – 140 bass, 41 keys, black body with yellow key design – serviced instrument in excellent condition with case included.

Vintage Hohner Tango V piano accordion, produced in the mid-20th century (circa 1950s)

A classic full-size German model with 41 keys and 140 bass buttons, featuring the characteristic black celluloid body, yellowed vintage keytops, and traditional Tango-series grille design.

The 140-bass configuration is exceptionally uncommon for Hohner accordions and is rarely seen in current eBay or Reverb listings. Unlike the more typical 96- or 120-bass models, this layout offers extended harmonic range and is oriented toward advanced performance, which makes the instrument appealing not only to musicians but also to collectors. Combined with its fully serviced condition and preserved authenticity, this represents a rare example of a vintage Hohner that appears on the market infrequently.

The instrument has been professionally serviced by a master

All treble and bass mechanisms have been checked, and the accordion is in fully working playable condition

Bellows hold air exceptionally well, all reeds speak cleanly, and all registers function correctly

Two registers are located on the treble side, and one register is present on the bass side

Comes with the hard case shown in the photos

The body is in excellent condition, with only minimal age-related wear typical for vintage instruments

Natural patina on the metal elements and light discoloration of the keys do not affect playability and are clearly visible in the photos

A solid choice for collectors, restorers, or musicians who appreciate authentic Hohner craftsmanship and mid-century German accordion design
