Luxury Quality at an Affordable Price

At McNeela Instruments we are committed to providing customers with the highest standard of instruments at the most accessible prices. Our low cost, high quality instruments are designed to assist our customers to achieve their musical goals.

Accordion Reeds

The quality of the reeds is one of the factors that has the greatest impact on the sound the accordion produces. The playability, sound and quality of an accordion all depend on the reeds that it’s fitted with. We only use the best quality reeds in our instruments, including those designed for beginner musicians. We want to enable you to sound good, right from your very first note.

Hand Finished

The McNeela Original Accordion features Czech-made (hand finished) dural reeds which produce a strong tone and excellent response. Czech reeds are renowned the world over for producing top quality tone. These high quality reeds offer a clear, bright, powerful tone and plenty of volume, yet manage to retain a sense of sweetness and softness - perfect for group playing when you need to be heard but not to dominate.

Hardwood Frame

The beautiful cherry wood frame comes in a natural finish with soft rounded edges, and the grille is decorated with intricate fretwork, creating a sleek looking exterior. This venting also allows the accordion to produce plenty of volume. This is an Irish button accordion that looks as good as it sounds.

Durability

The McNeela Original 2 Voice Accordion has been built with durability in mind, making it a reliable long lasting investment. As the bellows and reeds are exercised, it will continue to improve with age.

To completely put your mind at ease however, we proudly offer a one year guarantee on all new button accordions, against any material defects arising from the product. Beyond one year, we will still happily service your button accordion should the need arise.

Additionally, if you're unsatisfied for any reason whatsoever, we offer a full unconditional money-back guarantee for 30 days from the day you receive your McNeela Accordion.

McNeela Original Accordion Reviews

'Well made and very nice sound.' - Larry S.

'Beautiful instrument... It looks good and is easy to play. It has a good sound with plenty of tremolo' - Iryu S.

Take Your Playing to the Next Level

  • The McNeela Original Accordion is carefully crafted with ease of play in mind, enabling the player to take control and play with confidence, right from the start.
  • It features a flat fingerboard for ease of playing, with fast action and effortless response from the keys.
  • The bass is tuned for playing traditional Irish music, according to the traditional Paolo Soprani layout, so that students can learn to play the bass on the accordion from the beginning.
  • Smaller accordions offer greater ease of playing. Due to their more compact size, the bellows deliver air to the reeds at a higher pressure. This makes it easier to play at a louder volume and also means you won’t have to work as hard moving the bellows.

Quality Counts

At McNeela Instruments we are committed to providing customers with the highest standard of instruments at the most accessible prices. Our low cost, high quality instruments are designed to assist our customers to achieve their goals.

‘I bought this for my spouse... He is progressing with this instrument and I’m sure will soon be up to ‘session’ capability. It has been admired by fellow musos in our circle…’ - Joanna G.

Why We Use Premium Czech Reeds

We only use the best quality reeds in our instruments, including those designed for beginner musicians. We want to enable you to sound good, right from your very first note.

Our accordions feature top quality Premium Czech made reeds which provide a bright, clear tone and plenty of volume.

B/C Tuning

Our McNeela Original Beginner Accordion features B/C tuning. Simply put, this means that the outer row of buttons is in the key of B, and the inner row is in C.

B/C tuning lends itself well to playing traditional Irish tunes and ornamentation. This setup makes all the notes of the chromatic scale available to the player, allowing you to play a wide variety of tunes on this accordion in a number of keys.

B/C tuning is the most popular accordion tuning used in traditional Irish music and allows for a smooth, flowing style of playing.

Learn more about Irish button accordion tuning.

Easy to Play

The pearlescent buttons have a smooth finish allowing your fingers to travel over them easily, allowing you to play at speed. They also offer a great response, making them easy to push, and therefore easy to play.

Note: New bellows may require a little breaking in, but once you have, they will allow for ease of movement and a fluid push/pull motion.

Sounds as Good as It Looks

The McNeela Original Accordion is a sleek looking instrument. The beautiful cherrywood frame comes in a natural finish with soft rounded edges. The grille is decorated with intricate fretwork. This venting allows the accordion to produce plenty of volume.

The Premium Czech reeds provide a clear, crisp tone and help to produce great volume. This small accordion packs a punch. So once you’re feeling confident enough, you won’t struggle to be heard at an Irish music session!

Keep It Safe

This lightweight button accordion comes with a free gig bag to protect your new instrument from any unwanted knocks and bumps. Our high quality gig bags make it easier to transport your accordion and will help to keep it looking like new for longer.

The McNeela Guarantee
