Is the Bravo III 72 good for beginners?

Yes, if you're ready for a bit more instrument. It has a 34-key piano keyboard and 72 bass buttons — more range than a 48-bass beginner model, so you won't outgrow it quickly. At 7.4 kg it's a mid-size accordion. For very young or small players, a lighter 48-bass may be the better start, and we can help you choose.

Is the Bravo III 72 hard to learn?

No harder than starting any instrument. The piano keyboard makes the right hand familiar from day one. The left-hand bass buttons take practice, and 72 gives you more to learn than 48. The layout is the standard system, so everything you learn carries over to bigger accordions.

Does the Bravo III 72 come with a case and straps?

Yes. It comes with a gig bag and standard shoulder straps, so you can start playing straight away.

What music can you play on the Bravo III 72?

It's a versatile piano accordion rather than a specialist instrument. Three voices and five registers let you move between a bright, open sound and a fuller one. That suits folk, classical, pop and jazz, and Hohner designed it for accordion orchestras too.

How heavy is the Bravo III 72?

It weighs 7.4 kg and measures 39.4 × 18.5 cm. If weight is a concern for a child or smaller player, a 48-bass accordion is lighter. Ask us and we'll suggest one.

What's the difference between a student and a professional accordion?

Mostly the reeds and the number of voices. The Bravo III 72 uses standard, machine-made reed plates. Professional accordions usually have hand-finished (tipo a mano) or handmade (a mano) reeds, which respond more quickly, and often more voices. They cost more and tend to be heavier.
