Hohner Gaelic V diatonic button accordion with box

🎶 A top-tier Irish session box — the Hohner Gaelic V, renowned for its rich tone and powerful projection. This accordion belonged to a family member who emigrated. I’m selling it on their behalf — it’s been well cared for and deserves to be played. Feel free to message me with any questions or to arrange a viewing. Video of the accordion being played (notes) available upon request. I'm open to any reasonable offers. Overview: • Brand: Hohner — a trusted German brand known for craftsmanship and long-lasting accordions. • Model: Gaelic V — highly sought-after 5-voice model, ideal for traditional music sessions. • Type: Diatonic button accordion — excellent tuning and responsive bellows. • Finish: Red pearloid — classic look, stands out beautifully on stage. • Condition: Visually excellent with some age-related oxidation on metal trim (see photos) — does not affect sound or performance. • Includes: Original Hohner case and straps — ready to play. More product specifics: 🎵 1. Extra Voice (5 vs. 4 Reeds) • Gaelic V has five reeds (voices) per note (LMMMH or LMMM+piccolo), while the Gaelic IV has four (LMMH or LMMM). • This gives the V model a richer, fuller tone, especially useful for solo playing or big sessions. ⸻ 🧭 2. Greater Tonal Flexibility • With more reeds and more register switches, the Gaelic V allows for more combinations of tones (e.g. musette, dry, piccolo). • Perfect if you want both wet tuning (continental style) and dry tuning (traditional Celtic sound) in one box. ⸻ 🔊 3. Louder Volume & Projection • The extra reed gives it greater power and projection, which can be a big advantage in noisy environments like céilidhs or pub sessions. ⸻ 🎹 4. Professional-Level Instrument • The Gaelic V is aimed at serious or professional players, so it’s usually: • Built with better materials • Has improved action (smoother button/keyboard response) • More durable over time
