Superior Sound
The Phoenix has been crafted using the best quality materials available, including premium Czech reeds. We use
‘Tipo a Mano’
(hand-finished)
reeds, made from Swedish sound steel, producing a
bright, sweet and melodious tone
. Czech reeds are renowned the world over for producing top quality tone and their strength and brightness makes the Phoenix a
great
traditional Irish session concertina
when you need to be heard but not to dominate and, like all good reeds they open up and
get even better with play
.
The Phoenix will take you to the next stage!
The Phoenix is a great fit for the intermediate concertina player, crafted to the highest standard and perfect for students who are
ready to advance and master their instrument
. When developing this concertina it was really put to the test. We had several trial sessions and received feedback from many concertina players. The overwhelming response was that it
matched concertinas twice the price
for action and sound. This is a concertina that will serve you for years.
Fully Chromatic
The 30 Button Phoenix Anglo Concertina is fully chromatic meaning you can play in all musical keys.
Reviews for the McNeela Phoenix Anglo Concertina
It's a joy to play! The action is very good, the tone is crisp
-
Nancy R.
This is one of the best SOUNDING concertinas I have played and the best value. Nice reeds - a true "concertina" sound. Best "mid-range" instrument on the market
. -
Charles M
.
The concertina is top quality. Excellent tone, light and quick to play, better than anything I have played previously.
-
Lionel G.
This concertina has rapid and responsive action and reeds. I would rank it as better than the Morse
(Morse Céilí concertina priced at €2,373) -
Richard I.

CONCERTINA CARE TIPS
The concertina storage tips below, courtesy of Chris Algar, will ensure your concertina stays in top condition for longer and will help maintain smooth action and playability.
When not playing your concertina, always store your concertina in its hard case with the lid fastened to prevent dust or grit getting in and affecting the intricate internal mechanism.
Concertinas hate extremes of temperature and humidity, we recommend storing your concertina in its hard case, in a room with an ambient temperature of at least 18C but no more than 25C. Extremes of temperature or extreme fluctuations of temperature, may cause key functioning and moveable parts of the concertina to warp, sometimes to an irreparable extent.
Humidity must also be kept constant, anything under 40% humidity will cause the concertina to React and will likely affect the reed pan and cause other issues that may make the concertina harder to play or may prevent it from playing at all.
In winter keep a tray of water near the radiator in the room where you store your concertina to prevent the air from drying out – those of you on the East Coast of the US, be particularly careful as your low humidity during winter may lead to internal damage to the concertina.
When storing your concertina, make sure that you keep the bellows compressed. Firstly, ensure that you have the bellows compressed by placing a tight elastic band around the concertina, secondly, keep the concertina tightly packed in its hard case. Keeping the bellows compressed in this way prevents them from expanding and losing elasticity and means you won’t lose action on the concertina.
