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

I purchased the Swan concertina after trying out the wren for 2weeks. The Swan arrived and was exactly what I was looking for,the sound quality playability and feel of the instrument will last me for many years. I found the online Irish music academy and with lessons I have learned 10 numbers in no time,and my Swan concertina sounds exactly the same as the teachers concertina. I don't know how to thank everyone who helped me at Mcneela achieve my dreams. I really am enjoying playing every day for an hour or two, this really is a great concertina that looked after correctly should last for ever. Thanks again Phil James

I’m a total newbie on the concertina. I’ve poked around online for several months. The Swan concertina fit my needs perfectly. The price and shipping charges were reasonable. Best of all it shipped from Dublin and arrived in San Francisco in just 5 days! My jigs sound more like jugs just now, but I look forward to years of improvement.
