Flaco inspired this Signature model just as he's inspired countless accordion players.
This Corona II Flaco Jimenez Signature Accordion celebrates the lifetime achievement and legacy of accordion
legend Flaco Jimenez. Five-time Grammy Award winning Flaco Jimenez has played Hohner accordions on more than 100 albums over
the span of five decades. Hohner wishes to honor this special relationship and inspire players all over the world with this
signature accordion dedicated to Flaco's rich musical heritage.
Hohner and Flaco Jimenez worked side by side in collaboration
to develop this new accordion, which has been specially tuned to produce Flaco's unique signature sound. It includes an updated
bass strap, pearloid black buttons, noise reduction fingerboard, deluxe carrying case, and is available in a unique gold finish
complete with Flaco's signature.
It has been said that what B.B. King is to the blues or George Jones is to traditional
country, Grammy-winning accordionist Flaco Jimenez is to the world of Tex-Mex Conjunto. While there are many masters of the
accordion along the Texas-Mexican border, none but Flaco have toured the world and recorded with major pop, rock and country
artists. By all accounts, he is an international icon for the accordion-fueled Conjunto genre. The Hohner accordion has been
Flaco's signature sound and has been a part of his family's tradition—including his grandfather Patricio Jimenez, and
his legendary father Don Santiago Jimenez Sr.
Flaco's Conjunto style is derived from many cultural backgrounds, spanning
from its Tex-Mex roots to honky-tonk country, rock'n'roll, and Tejano. His unique accordion playing has earned him five Grammy
Awards, and he continues to inspire accordionists around the world.
