A collection of brochures (around 60 years)

[Morne]

I found this on the German music forum:
http://www.musiker-board.de/threads...te-als-pdf-sammeln.524910/page-2#post-7820752

It is a collection of scanned brochures for various accordion manufactures across the last 60 or so years. Not all the years have files, but theres a lot to look at regardless.

I hope he wont mind me reposting it here, but for the sake of those who want the English instructions:

Select Akkordeon -> Akkordeonprospekte and then enjoy the journey through history.

Interesting. Good post. I like these old catalogues, better digitally they don't smell and go foxy..
I've got a few Bell catalogues from later in the 60s. I'd like to download some off your site , too if there is no objection?

Interesting how Hohner could not even do simple math...
I have a Morino Artiste XS. As stated in the brochure it goes from A to E (about 4 1/2 octaves higher). That makes for a total of 56 notes. Yet the brochure lists this model as having 55 notes...
But on the positive side, interesting to see so many button models I didn't even know existed. Thanks for reposting this link!

By all means!

Its not my site, though. I just reposted somebody elses link. But Ive already started to download some of it myself. We really need to share this stuff more in case this ever goes down.
