Hohner NOVA III 96 BLACK

The Nova Line: a student accordion designed to grow with the player

The Nova accordion line was developed with a simple idea: to offer an instrument truly adapted to younger players, without sacrificing the playing sensations expected from more "adult" models. It features a compact design and rounded shapes while retaining key elements for learning: a responsive button keyboard, balanced touch, and mechanics designed to promote consistency from the first years.

Its sound and aesthetic identity are also carefully crafted: the grille contributes to the Nova's "look" and helps create a specific sound, seeking a subtle balance between high and low frequencies. The result is a student accordion that is not just "smaller," but aims to provide a complete and rewarding instrumental experience for the player.

For whom and for what uses?

The Nova is primarily intended for children, teens, and young students who are beginning or consolidating their fundamentals at conservatories, music schools, or with private teachers. Its size and ergonomics facilitate proper technique: hand positioning, precise button attack, cleaner transitions, and better keyboard readability for learning the chromatic system.

With its configuration (chromatic button keyboard, traditional registers and basses), it is suitable both for practicing fundamental exercises (scales, arpeggios, right/left hand coordination) and for a varied study repertoire. The instrument comes with a transport solution designed for daily use: ideal for trips between home and lessons, rehearsals, and auditions.
