Gaspar Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 So my Wheatstone 46b Maccann duet finally arrived a week ago and now I am a very happy person This is the concertina I was looking for all this time. I tried English and Anglo in the past but now I know now that the duet system is the right for me. In my opinion this is the best concertina system to sing with (just my opinion) I got it form Chris Algar of Barleycorn Concertinas and I had a really good experience dealing with him. I highly reccomend Chris if you are looking for an expert restored and fair priced concertina. pics: serial number: 35.333 (i think it places it 1938-1939?)

Mike Franch Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Isn't that the happiest feeling in the world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartEstell Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Beautiful! The Maccann system is fantastic - I love it. Although be warned - it may not be long before you find yourself lusting after a 67-key one or larger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspar Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Isn't that the happiest feeling in the world? It surely is Mike! Beautiful! The Maccann system is fantastic - I love it. Although be warned - it may not be long before you find yourself lusting after a 67-key one or larger... Thank you Stuart! I love the system. Some say McCann is not a very logical system but I´m finding it very comfortable to play. I have already started to look some bigger McCanns but one thing I love of this 46b concertina is the size. A 67b would be a lot more versatile than mine but also bigger and heavier. cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann-p Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 So no more air concertina now! Well done, enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccannic Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Welcome to the wonderful world of the Maccann! "Some say McCann is not a very logical system" - lots of people say that, probably using a QWERTY keyboard very fluently to say it. You would be able to explore even more wonders with a larger instrument - just don't get rid of the small one if you find it has its uses too.
