This is a Wheatstone 57-Key Maccann with steel reeds. It has been fitted with new pads and valves, and has been tuned to concert pitch (A=440hz).

It is firstly important to note that this concertina, although having 57 buttons, actually has the layout of a 55-Key Maccann with two additional higher notes on the left hand- the right hand does not have the low C.

This is a nice concertina. Although there is a little bit of wear present, it is a good player with a nice set of reeds and light action. It is a cheaper instrument than it would be due to the fact that it is a 55-Key layout, but this is still a lot of instrument quality for the price!
