Overview
Not a piano accordion, the Hohner Panther is a diatonic button box with three rows tuned to F, Bb and Eb. Two sets of treble reeds give a rich, robust tone suited to conjunto and similar styles.
An easy playing diatonic box that suits beginners yet holds up for working musicians. The key set suits conjunto, but it will not cover every key a band might call.
Who it's for
Students starting conjunto and norteno styles will find it comfortable to learn on. Players who need every key or a keyboard layout should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Two treble reed sets for full tone
- Comfortable to play

- Two year warranty
- Three keys only
- Button counts not listed
- Heavy for young players
Performance notes
Tone comes from two sets of treble reeds sounding together, which thickens each note for a full sound. As a diatonic box, each button gives a different note on push and pull, so the bellows direction matters.
