Customer Reviews for the Swan 30 Button Anglo Concertina
'If you are considering buying a budget concertina and you can afford the extra I would strongly recommend you go straight to the Swan.' Caroline S. 'I am extremely pleased with the swan which plays very well and has a lovely tone. I have compared [it] with a much more expensive one, and it plays just as easily and is the same size and weight.' Dan M. 'The sound quality and playability are far better than my top of the range Stagi' Phil J. 'I’m a total newbie on the concertina. I’ve poked around online for several months. The Swan concertina fit my needs perfectly.' Jeremy M   For those of you wishing to master the traditional Irish music style focusing on Anglo concertinas, we highly recommend critically acclaimed text tutorial The Irish Concertina by Mick Bramich. What's the difference between Anglo concertinas and English concertinas?
This concertina is suitable for adults and children alike, with its adjustable straps and touch sensitive buttons. It's the perfect model for beginner concertina players and people who are just starting out but want to treat themselves to a premium instrument. Thanks to its good looks and fantastic sound nobody need know you're a beginner! It's a great session concertina and can hold its own with the best of them.
In general, anglo concertinas are very expensive instruments to buy especially for the beginner player and advanced beginner player, so we wanted to fill this gap in the market. The new Swan does just that, making it affordable for players to advance. We can confidently say that this concertina is the best of its kind at this price range. It has been built with durability in mind, making it long lasting - this is essential to our customer base, particularly for its resale value. Not only is this Swan durable, but as the reeds are 'exercised' it will actually improve with age. Students usually play this concertina for 3-5 years and then trade it in and upgrade to a more expensive concertina.
And, to completely put your mind at ease, we provide a guarantee for 5 years, rare amongst concertina makers. Even beyond 5 years we're always more than happy to service our concertinas.
Good to know:
100% refundable, just return it up to 30 days from when you receive the concertina Comes with a 5 year guarantee (very important when considering which concertina to buy) Comes with a concertina premium padded box for a limited time only Free Priority Shipping Worldwide For more details please refer to our Shipping & Returns policy

The Swan is a beautifully made instrument with a gorgeous sound. I am thoroughly enjoying the video lessons with Caitlin. Her clear instruction makes practice enjoyable and progress inevitable. Thank you for the fast service and excellent response to all my questions.

Brilliant. The concertina is quite lovely and a perfect fit for my budding musicians here in Nashville TN. We couldn't be happier with the instrument and the level of service McNeela provides. Top notch!

A good start! A very nice concertina, with a beautiful sound. I am so happy I spent a bit more money on the Swan concertina as my first concertina, instead of buying a cheaper one. As a complete beginner, I was surpriced at how easy it was to get started. I even managed to fix a smaller problem with one reed, with the help from McNeela customer support. A great choice! And thank you McNeela for excellent support!

I had originally ordered a Wren 2 concertina but changed my order to a Swan instead, Miriam and Viviene were great and made it easy to upgrade. I’m so pleased with my choice, it really is a thing of beauty and a cannot put it down!! This is the first instrument I’ve had since I was a child and I’m in love with it, I get a round of applause from my kids after playing too

Thank you, Mr McNeela and staff, for your very quick and safe delivery of my new Swan concertina during this Covid crisis period. I am a beginner player and I’m enjoying learning new tunes at Caitlín’s website. The Swan concertina has a lovely sound and is all that I had hoped it would be! Thanks again!

I can't stop playng! I switched from the Wran2 to the Swan a copule of month ago, You can hear how the sound is faster and cleaner since the first note. This instrument looks great, it is easy to play and it has a nice harmonius sound that never taires me. The McNeela staff was been very helpfull in helping me to do the switch, and the maintenance as well, with a quick and efficent assistence.
