you’re a genius for comparing both and recommending both, thanks for the insight.

[@DashDashUpper]

These accordions(panther) jumped up in price for no reason😂. I bought mine for 400ish$ a long time ago i ended up selling it and now that i want to get back into it they want 750$+ 😢

[@78Ford351]

Wtf. I was looking earlier this year and jumped $100 just this year. Should have bought sooner and just got on it

[@spcsalas138]

From what I understand Germany and a lot of Europe is struggling right now, energy prices and the wars...

[@hoshmoggen1746]

It's a little thing they invented in the 60's called... inflation.

[@armwrestlinginthe6ix]

i have a web page open right now for it for 91.99 usd.... store is called maklena, is this site a scam im looking to buy my first accordian

[@flexican5399]

In my opinion both are good and the comprade sound a little lower pitch but barely. Thanks for the video

[@aarondanielsalinas]

A lot of the volume really depends on the build from box to box. There are a lot of mechanical things going on inside of accordions so there are many variables at play when it comes to volume. Even between two factory standard panthers or compadres you may have some volume variance but just slightly.

[@lx95020]

Besides the looks I still don't know why one is better than the other. I have the first Panther release that looks like a Corona. Great deal for beginners. Thank you for your video!

[@victoriol]

The pull strap. On the panther there is a fixed pull strap holded by screews. On the Compadre there is an adjustable pull strap. That is the most significant difference between those two accordions.

[@whoisianp2779]

So if I wanna play straight Hispanic music like corridos, norteños, banda etc etc which one should I go for the compadre or panther?

[@elcuhaaron7113]

los 2 suenan bien pa eso

[@gilbertcarrillo3305]

Do you have any instructional videos to tech people how to play

[@aarondanielsalinas]

[@jrreyes1009]

First not all thanks for the reply on my previous question I have another one if you don't mind, which accordion would u recommend between a hohner Compadre or hohner Corona II ? It is a 400 difference in price where I live is it worth it?

[@mikel4510]

The Corona II 3500 definitely sounds a lot better and is considered a basic professional instrument than the Compadre (which sounds just like the Panther)

[@karimb1724]

The real difference is aesthetics because they have the same sound and components inside. So if you like the compadre's look you pay 200$ dollars extra ,there's 3 color options to choose and you get a carrying bag. With panther you get no bag and 1 color black. You could get the panther and save 200 to buy a nice carrying case.

[@Izakokomarixyz]

unless you need EAD which is only available on the compadre

[@jrreyes1009]

I'm a beginner please help me out to choose my first accordion! Compadre ead or panther gcf?????

[@aarondanielsalinas]

I recommend a GCF box, especially as a beginner who doesn’t have a strong music theory background. Regarding models it’s really up to how much you are wanting to spend. Both are great beginner options

[@jrreyes1009]

Thanks for the reply helped alot!

[@JG-1500s]

Hey man did u end up choosing your acordion because I’m selling a compadre gcf for 650$ good condition

[@bluemagic5829]

@@JG-1500s I propose $450 if you don't get better offers

[@mikel4510]

Asking someone to pay $ .25 (much less $2-300) more for something simply because it looks different is just plain greed. To pay it is just plain stupid.

[@Izakokomarixyz]

they’re not made out of plastic, they’re made out of crap wood. Only old Corona’s have good wood.
