Overview
Bellows moving air through the Hohner Erica sound its notes, chosen from two rows of buttons. Being diatonic, it is built for folk dance styles in set keys, with a wood body finished in pearl red.
Folk players get a dedicated diatonic instrument that Hohner names for Cumbia, English country dance, Morris dance and sea chanteys. Its layout favors the keys it is tuned for, so chromatic music is harder going. The listing gives no bass button count or reed details.
Who it's for
Players joining folk sessions, Morris sides or Cumbia groups will find it matches that repertoire. Anyone wanting a piano keyboard layout or full chromatic range should look at a different style of accordion.
Pros and cons
- Diatonic layout matches folk dance repertoire

- Carry bag included
- Light listed weight
- Bass button count not listed
- Diatonic keys limit chromatic playing
- Short limited warranty
- Bag only, no hard case
Performance notes
On a diatonic box each button can give a different note depending on bellows direction, so phrasing depends on bellows control as much as fingering. Melodies in its home keys fall under the fingers, while other keys get awkward fast. Tone comes from the reeds and the wood body that houses them.
