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

It is very important to point out that this isn’t a standard 57-Key Maccann where the lowest note on the right is a C, which would make it the most sought-after Maccann Duet model. This concertina is essentially a 55-Key with a couple of extra notes, meaning that the lowest note on the right hand is a G. Having said that, this really is a well-made concertina that plays fantastically with a really nice tone. If you aren’t particularly in need of the extra low C then this would be a fantastic box for you.
