"Extremely rare in this black livery, this is one of only a few that were exported to the USA. One of them was bought by Frank Zappa. Zappa's was recently sold at auction for $1905, despite seeming to have no visible sliders. This example here is in similar cosmetic condition, but has its slider stalks and thus can be controlled! We will be trying to source slider tops correct for the era and make - watch this space. 117V, so how it found its way back to Europe is a bit of a mystery. More info when known. Like many Hohner instruments, it is tatty on the outside, but the playing surface (protected by its lid) is very good. Also of course the heavy-duty case and lid make it a seriously heavy instrument. Packing 18GBP."
