Overview
Tex-Mex dance halls and norteno sessions are where the Hohner Corona II belongs, a three-key diatonic button accordion in pearl red. Treble buttons and bass buttons drive two reed voices on a standard reed plate, with noise-damped buttons.
GCF tuning and a Tex-Mex style make it a ready choice for conjunto and norteno music. Being diatonic, each button gives a different note on push and pull, which suits those styles but not chromatic repertoire.
Who it's for
Conjunto and norteno musicians get a traditional button box with straps and a gig bag. Those coming from piano or wanting chromatic freedom should look at a piano accordion.
Pros and cons
- GCF keys for Tex-Mex styles
- Ergoline straps included
- Gig bag in the box
- Two voices for a fuller sound
- Diatonic layout limits key changes
- Heavy for its size
- Warranty not listed
Performance notes
As a diatonic instrument, each button plays one note on the push and another on the pull, so phrasing follows bellows direction. Two reeds per note thicken the tone, and damped buttons cut mechanical clatter.
