Hohner Experience a new sensation in accordion music! The newly developed Nova Series button accordions offer a whole new way to explore the versatility and originality of the accordion. To further enhance your musical expression, Hohner has developed a new type of button keyboard where the buttons move on special modern plastic guides. This guarantees highly precise movement with very little side movement. For the accordionist, this translates into faster response with a smooth, balanced feeling.
