The essentials to know about the HOHNER Varia One Piano Accordion A compact converter accordion designed to support young musicians throughout their learning journey. 26 resized piano keys, with shorter keys and lower black keys, to promote a natural hand position. 72 bass buttons with standard-to-chromatic conversion, allowing players to gradually progress towards more advanced playing. Ergonomic 4.7 kg design, compact bellows and a complete strap system to reduce fatigue. A converter accordion designed to grow with the student The HOHNER Varia One Piano marks the German brand's return to the world of converter accordions designed for learning. Developed with music teachers, this model is more than just a compact accordion: it has been designed as a genuine educational tool, capable of accompanying a student from their first pieces through to exploring the chromatic repertoire. Its approach is based on a simple idea: enabling children to develop the right techniques from the outset. Rather than asking musicians to adapt to an overly bulky adult instrument, the Varia One Piano offers proportions designed for smaller physiques, without sacrificing the versatility of a converter accordion. Keyboard design The HOHNER Varia One Piano features a 26-key right-hand piano keyboard, specially redesigned for playing comfort suited to young accordionists. The keys are shorter than those on a conventional keyboard, and the black keys have a reduced height. This design minimises unnecessary finger movement, facilitates access to intervals and helps students maintain a more relaxed hand position. On the left hand, the instrument features 72 bass buttons and a conversion system that allows players to switch from standard bass to chromatic bass. This adaptability is essential for gradually approaching more advanced techniques,
