Where is the serial number on a Hohner instrument?

On Hohner accordions the number usually sits on the rear of the treble side, on the bass-side plate, or on a small identification plate near the bass strap. Pre-1930 instruments may carry a stamped date instead. The exact spot varies by era and instrument type — the serial number guide walks through the common locations.

What if my Hohner serial number is not found?

Recheck the characters exactly as marked, including any letters and leading zeros. Letter-prefixed numbers often belong to student or non-domestic lines that cannot be dated from the number. Some production periods may simply not be covered yet.
