Hohner Sabre Copy?


Recommended Posts

Don't think there's any mystery about this. The truss adjuster's buggered and has been horribly bodged with something that appears to have dropped out of a bus engine, and the tuner positioning is a result of a half-arsed attempt to do a 3x1 arrangement using a standard inline head shape & unsuitably small machine heads.

If they'd just moved the G tuner up a few cm they could've avoided that worrying break angle altogether.

The mystery is how Hohner could have let that 3+1 attempt out the factory looking like that.

And what about the mess surrounding the nut? Looks like it was glued back on using wood putty! 

Also, why do none the strings have a straight angle to any of the tuners?

They didn't - don't think Hohner ever made anything other than harmonicas & squeeze boxes! This'll be made by Cort in Korea, and is a bit of a cheapo, tbh.

However I'm pretty confident it never left the factory with the nut & truss adjuster looking like that! xD
