Hohner No. 51

Hohner Strap No. 51 — Comfortable Support for 72-Bass Accordions

The Hohner Strap No. 51 is the standard padded carrying strap in Hohner's accordion strap lineup, purpose-built for 72-bass instruments. Designed to safely and comfortably hold the accordion during play, this strap offers a fabric-based alternative to the rigid leather straps that ship with many accordions. Integrated shoulder padding distributes the instrument's weight evenly across both shoulders.

As part of Hohner's official accessory range, the No. 51 sits between the kids' No. 50 and the taller No. 52 — the standard choice for adult players with average build. This strap is the right choice for accordionists who want a comfortable, adjustable carrying solution for their 72-bass instrument.

What Sets This Strap Apart

Unlike rigid leather straps that dig into the shoulders, the No. 51 uses a padded fabric construction that softens pressure points during long rehearsals. The cross-connector strap at the back keeps the shoulder straps aligned and prevents them from slipping off when the player moves around on stage. Easy attachment to the instrument's existing loops means setup takes only a moment.

Technical Specifications — Fit and Adjustability

The strap's adjustability range is its most important functional feature, allowing players of different heights to find a comfortable playing position. The width and padding work together to distribute the accordion's weight without creating pressure points on the shoulders.

Who Should Use the Hohner Strap No. 51

The Strap No. 51 is designed for adult accordionists playing 72-bass instruments — the most common size for students, hobbyists, and semi-professional performers. Players who find their stock leather straps uncomfortable will appreciate the padded fabric construction during long practice sessions or live performances. It also works as a practical replacement for worn-out original straps on older Hohner accordions.

The Hohner Strap No. 51 is the right choice for accordionists who play 72-bass instruments and need a padded, adjustable strap. Easy attachment to the instrument's existing loops means setup takes only a moment, and the fabric construction holds up well to daily practice and performance use.
