1939/40 PRE-WAR Hohner Student II (Serial #89139) | COLLECTOR GRADE | Original Condition & Freshly Tuned

A Museum-Quality Survivor from the Hohner Golden Era. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a 1939/40 Pre-War Hohner Student II (Serial #89139) in exceptional original condition. Produced in Trossingen, Germany, just before production shifted during WWII, this instrument represents the pinnacle of Hohner’s pre-war craftsmanship.

Unlike most vintage accordions found today, this unit has been meticulously preserved and professionally tuned, making it a turn-key investment for both collectors and serious musicians.
