- Unboxing my new 2021 accordion, the Bravo ii 48 Hohner accordion. This new accordion from Hohner was given to me by the company as they welcomed me to the Hohner accordion family last week. All the hard work we have been doing for the accordion community is finally paying off and I couldn't be more excited to work with a company like this!

Congratulations! So happy hearing you playing again. Hohner, thank you for recognizing this unique talent. The accordion needs this musician.
Aw Robert, thank you so much man! Feels good to be back... It's been a tough break having to sit around and watch everyone else enjoying it so much but I'm slowly working my way back. Appreciate all the support brother, you're the man!
You are doing such awesome things for the accordion community! I am so excited to see your video on the hack strap. That seems like something that should have been made many years ago!
That means so much to me, thank you! Might try and do that next month, so stay tuned!! I really appreciate your support!!
Accordion player checking in: I LOVE THIS! Thanks for all you do to promote the instrument and the joy you bring through your music and videos.
Aww that means so much Connie, thanks for taking the time to say that! Really happy you’re enjoying the content. Truly appreciate your support so much, hope you’re having a beautiful Labor Day weekend ♥️
So nice to see you playing despite that injury. Inspiring!!
Thanks Rolando! Feels so good to be back at it, it was a sad little break I had to go through but this was the perfect solution to getting back to it again :) thanks for watching brother!
I came here because I play mexican music and I was looking into buying one of these. I ended up finding one of the coolest guys on the internet haha Much love
@@AbandonedChurch ah that means a lot ♥️ thanks for saying that! Happy to make the connection, if you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out!!
@@SqueezeandThanks Of Course man! I hope you return and post a video soon!! 🖤
@@AbandonedChurch really appreciate you ♥️🙏💯
Incredible video! So happy to have you as part of the Hohner Family!!!
Can't thank you enough Derek, really! So pumped to grow into the family some more and help out however I can. So blessed that you hit me up when you did, I really needed this... More than you know man. It's been a tough break but I'm slowly picking myself back up and shaking off the rust!
I just recently got a German Hohner xtreme and a Cii because I injured my back.. I hadn’t picked up my gabbanelli in 2 years it’s nice to see Hohner understands that we need them.
Happy to hear you found something to allow you to keep playing CeeJay! The accordion can definitely take its toll on the body. I wish I knew the importance of having an accordion that meets the needs without being too big, but it’s all part of the lesson I suppose. Definitely would love to make a video covering the topic of smaller accordions
Love you bro thank you for this beautiful content. I am getting my accordion back from my family in august and I am excited to learn to play it
@@Khronos06 love you too Chance, appreciate you saying that! ♥️ stoked to hear your getting into it some more, you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out! 💯
it's so inspiring to watch you playing in that spot where you use to meditate, congrats for your new accordion! it reminds me of my first accordion that was also a 48 bass model by Hohner. And that wallride, oh man you even took your front foot off the board in the air and landed it perfectly! This is the best video in your channel by far, lots of emotion and happiness put togheter in an accordion video. Congrats Denny, you are taking the accordion to a new generation!
Love you brother! I knew you'd get a kick out of the skating portion, haha it felt great to hop on a board again. I remember hearing somewhere not too long ago that wall rides are similar to manuals so I kept that in mind and somehow that resulted in the "ollie north wall ride"... Haha oh well! I'm glad you enjoyed this so much and enjoyed all the storytelling and emotion. Felt really amazing seeing it all come together, especially after taking so much time off. Hope you're enjoying the summer and once again, congrats on the huge accomplishment with your competition!
Good for you.
All the best.
Thank you for this heartwarming intimate video. You are so deserving of this sponsorship and it’s so great to see you so happy. Gives me a little hope for my own musical journey. Thank you Denny and thank you Hohner for making this man’s beautiful dream come true, grow,and flourish, as he continues to so generously share it with all who come into contact with him and his music in whatever form. Be it his live performance, or his incredibly creative team efforts with his videos here online. ❤️
Love this so much Paul, this is beautiful to read. I'm so grateful that something finally clicked, and it was honestly when I least expected it to. I needed something like this to lift me back up again. Hope you've been finding the time to play and are enjoying what's left of the summer. Much love brother, I appreciate the support you show beyond words my friend!
You’re more than welcome. Thank you for all you do to help and inspire me and others. I’d like to say that II’ve been finding more time to practice (Lord knows I need it!) but my personal responsibilities take front row at least presently. ❤️
Hohner did quite a good job w/ this little guy
I’ll say! So many things to love about it 😊 One of my favorite little features is the ergonomic strap splitter 5:37, all accordions need this! I put my Roland on the other day and the sides of my neck really noticed the difference 😆
Congrats Dennis, I hope this brings up your spirits, and hopefully Post has some new material on the horizon, that you can make a new rendition of !!!!!!
Art, thanks for saying what's up brother! Definitely needed something like this to lift the spirits, that's for sure. It's been tough getting back into the swing of things but I'm slowly making my way back to it all. Appreciate all the support you show homie. Hope you guys have been doing great and enjoying what's left of the summer my friend!
Congratulations brother!! So happy to see you back at it, and I LOVE the production value and vlog style of this video 🔥
Hey Ronen!! Glad you enjoyed it so much brother, went through the video vaults like crazy digging up supporting b-roll for all the storytelling. Had such a ball piecing this together. Hope you've been well my friend, we need to connect for a chat soon brother, we're overdue!
It's really cute & it's helping w/ your shoulder injury.
Such a big difference it makes losing all that weight 😅 I miss the extra bass buttons for sure but I can’t complain at all, it’s such a beaut!
@@SqueezeandThanks Hohner does make a Bravo III 120 that weighs the same because the Keyboards are made entirely out of plastic.
Dude I bought a Hohner Bravo III. About 5 years ago. Red. It was Awesome. I sold it for $1,200 and got a 41/120 Planet Squeezebox. While the larger one packs a punch I sure miss that Hohner. Seeing you unbox that new one has given me the Fever Again Bad!
Good video.
Never hear of that brand before but what a cool name! Sweet looking boxes too from what I’m seeing on Google. Glad you enjoyed the video brother, thanks for sharing the moment with me. This was such a fun experience to have on film to watch over again and relive 🥲
Excellent! Keep on keeping on!
Thanks so much Dave! Hope you have a wonderful New Year!! 😊
Love those little Hohners! Wonder how it holds up to the vintage ones...
*cough cough, video idea, cough cough*
They’re an okay box if you simply can’t afford something better that’s brand new… expect quality control issues since it’s a China box, no customer service/warranty, and parts breaking that will need to be replaced or fixed.
I’ve had quality control issues I’ve found on multiple boxes with certain notes not being as powerful as others in certain situations… a reed that broke or became “unstable” and needed to order the part and replace it myself… the plastic buckle on the bass strap broke… and the bellows developed a good sized hole in the one corner where it seals up…
Compared to vintage Hohners, it’s tough to say. They used better reeds when they were made in Germany so many years ago. Some of the newer more premium models Hohner carries have a better reed quality but it’s tough to find those models being sold in the states since Hohner global and Hohner US are somewhat in competition with each other since the US brand was sold to a bigger distribution company… Pretty sure that’s why no shops in the US carry those premium models made in Germany.
@@SqueezeandThanks wow, thanks for this beautiful essay XD. I have an old hohner carmen that’s fairly beat up but it has potential if I decide to restore it. Made a video on restoring the treble side but got no views. Might stray away from the instrument for awhile
Denny. That is just awesome. You deserve it.
Hey Lynn!! Thank you so much, I'm so grateful for an opportunity like this, you have no idea! Can't wait to bring you more fun videos! Much love!!
Keep up the good work bro!!
Congratulations!
Thanks so much for tuning in Marie! Big hugs! :)
Beautiful accordeon, congratulations
Hey thanks so much Edgar!! Hope you have a wonderful New Year my friend! 😊
@@SqueezeandThanks You too, happy 2022 and all the best for Squezze and thanks, in this difficult times, in this world, musicians like you, brings joy to people, arts are expression of the soul, they makes us humans, what we are, evertime i practice with my accordeon i feel plenty, happy, connected…we need people like you in this world.
Congratulations bro
Hey!! Thank you so much!! :)
Congrats dear sir for your new accordion
Please let me know what is your opinion about the digital FR4x
Thank you Isaac! The fr4x I have is just okay compared to the 8x... I feel like they skimped on the bellows a bit, or at least it feels like it. The 8x has mechanical bellows and the 4x is more like a steady leak with a bellow sensor... Idk if you plan on making a lot of videos or recording, or even doing performances, the Rolands are great but other than that the Hohner's are a really great acoustic box.
Ayyyy ur back!
Sure am! Slowly but surely getting back in the swing of things. Thanks for staying tuned and saying what's up!!
02:28 that hit me hard 😂😭
I bought a vintage *Hohner Imperial iv a* ....wanted to buy it (had to save up money to get it) so I was getting worried it would not be there anymore but then I was like ....who am I kidding 😂
(it was still there)
Hahaha ain’t it the truth? 🤣
Hi dear...
I want bay this beautiful accordion.
But !
Which is better for all song?
Hohner bravo ii 48 ?
OR
Hohner bravo iii 72 ?
Hello Markhor! If size, weight and cost isnt an issue for you, I would invest a little more and get the 72, it will allow you to play more songs in different keys
@@SqueezeandThanks
WooooooooooW
Thank you so much dear ✌👍
I love the idea of the chord chart. How do I get one?
Hey Wayne/Cheryl, the chart can be downloaded at squeezeandthanks.com from the homepage :)
Want to know whether they make new Hohner accordion now?
Want to buy one
Hey Isaac!! These new bravos were designed in the last few years and are top of the line. I think you would really enjoy any of them from this series :)
Thank you so much
Can you please suggest one please where can get my FR4X repaired?
Some key noise
👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for watching!! :)
i need to record accordion music again...
Definitely!! The accordion needs more active players! :)
Any Hohner with all Black Treble keys
i play an accordion and its heavy i have scoliosis and it get heavy while sitting
I’m sorry to hear that Bradley, what size accordion do you use? Although smaller sized used accordions are sometimes hard to find (since they mass produced 120 bass accordions in the mid 1900’s), I would recommended downsizing to something smaller like this 48 bass, or a 72 or even a lighter 3 reed 96 bass. If you look long enough and wait for the right one to come along, you might come across a good used one that’s smaller. Also consider using straps with a connecting back strap to secure the instrument to your body better if that doesn’t negatively affect the way it makes you feel. I’m praying that you’re able to find the right solution to accommodate your needs and allows you to play longer and without pain. Here to help with anything you might need brother, don’t hesitate to reach out ♥️

"Nobody likes the accordion", we Mexicans are the exception.
