This is probably the musette set of reeds, which would be tuned a little different than the other two sets, but not sure. The second 'D' octave is doing the opposite-fine when going out, but slightly flat when moving in. The bellows is tight with no leaks. I did notice that the third octave 'G' in the right hand seems to have a slightly flat middle reed when the bellows is moving out, but is fine when going in. Most accordion players that I know stay within a few rows of the “C” key and rarely use the last 2 rows at the top and bottom in the bass section, so the 16-row models make a lot of sense. I have been playing accordion since 1955 and prefer the “less than 120-bass” models for the reduced size and weight. The keyboard measures 18 inches to the ends of the white keys. It has 3 sets of treble reeds and 5 sets of bass reeds. The treble shifts are marked only with dots on the staff but sound like Clarinet/Bassoon/Master/Musette/Middle and duplicates for four of these, so there are actually five shifts and four duplicates on the treble side (see the closeup photo of the shifts). There are 96 bass keys and 37 treble keys, 9 treble shifts (four duplicates), and 3 bass registers. Very lightweight at 17.2 pounds-the perfect weight for the smaller player or someone who doesn't want the heavier models. From the low serial number (014201), the shape of the case, and a postmark on an envelope found inside the case (1955), the accordion was probably made in the 1950s. We have sold quite a few accordions over the past couple of years and this is one of the best sounding and playing accordions that we have ever had at this price! Hohner accordions can bring thousands of dollars for some models and have some of the best reeds for rich tone (check the completed auctions on eBay).There are several Hohner Tango accordions on the internet.
