noviceanglo Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 For sale. Hohner Preciosa Melodeon, G/D (182911488353). All keys and bellows are in great playing condition, esp. given that it was made in Germany, in, I believe, 1943. Like Hohner's Liliput, Preciosa Melodeons were/are highly portable, but yet loud and beautiful. My Preciosa plays beautifully, though not necessarily in my hands, as I am a rank beginner. I'll sell it for $ 1000.00 (Canadian). I can send more pics; just ask. Shipping is from British Columbia, Canada in its original leather case, at buyer's expense. While Paypal is best, I accept cheques or modes of payment, so long as shipping occurs after payment has cleared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meloduk Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Is it a two and a half row? Please can you send pics with bellows fully open including close ups. Could you advise of P&P cost and also whether liable for import tax shipped to UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Molkentin Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Preciosas have a 2 1/2 row "Club" layout (if not modified) (you can detect the four additional buttons behind the grill on the first pic) Edited January 25, 2019 by Wolf Molkentin expanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynda Bass Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Where can one find a fingering chart for a Preciosa? I cannot figure out what key it is in. It's number is 110377. They are soooooo adorable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot figure out what key it is in. It's number is 110377. They are soooooo adorable! Yes indeed. You'll find everything re the "Hohner Club" system/layout here. Look for the 25 key version. However, this wouldn't tell you the keys of the two (home) rows. AFAIK , Hohner produced them in C/F and Bb/Eb (outer/inner row), not sure about G/C, but I find that unlikely regarding the overall size (even smaller than a Liliput). D/G like, apparently, the advertised and now sold instrument has, may well be a later modification to suit the "English" needs. To determine the key of a given instrument push the third button (counting from left to right) of the outer row, which will indicate the key of this row, most likely a C or a Bb. The other row could be determined by likewise pushing the respective third button, but is has to be a fourth above the outer row anyway. You might encounter a modified instrument, particularly a "de-clubbed" one. If applicable, we could that discuss later on. However, fellow-forum melodeon.net would undoubtedly provide you with more (and more insightful) replies. Best wishes - ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
