WHAT'S NEW?
I’ve upgraded the buttons for extra durability and faster action.
The new & improved handstraps provide increased playing comfort and are easier to adjust.
"I’ve used a superior wood polish for an even more beautiful and scratch resistant finish." Why Quality Counts: Concertinas are usually very expensive instruments to purchase, however the Wren 2 is an affordable concertina and, we believe, the best beginner concertina on the market, offering superb value for money.
This concertina not only produces an enhanced, crisp tone, thanks to the steel reeds, but it also features good quality durable hand-straps, large black buttons, perfect for beginners, and 8-fold bellows which are very easy to open and close, making it a delight to play. This concertina has been finished to a high specification and we are very proud of it. As this concertina gives students the control and sound they strive for, they are likely to have a positive attitude to the learning process and have a more enjoyable time throughout.
Why Teachers Recommend The Wren Below are just some of the many reasons why teachers believe the Wren 2 is the best beginner concertina:
When students start playing the Wren 2 concertina there's a notable increase in their speed of learning in comparison to other beginner models.
This concertina allows students more control over their playing - quickly building up the concertina student's skill-set and awareness, and enabling the student to learn basic and intermediate playing techniques with ease.
WE KNOW QUALITY COUNTS Here at McNeela Music, it's all about quality. It's a fact that students using a low quality instrument are more likely to stop practicing and even worse, quit altogether. That's why we only provide customers with the highest standard of instruments, as we know lesser quality instruments would be doing our customers a disservice and may hinder them from achieving their goals. And for further peace of mind we offer a 30-day trial with a no-quibble money back guarantee!
Trade-in When You're Ready
We want musicians to evolve and advance, that's why we offer a very generous trade-in programme. Thanks to the Wren 2's longevity and the way it improves with play, it has great resale value. So, when you feel you are ready to move on to a higher-grade concertina, we'll happily take back your current instrument and credit you a very fair trade-in value on your next purchase.
The Wren 2 Has Many Standout Features
Provides an ease of play: The Wren 2 was specifically designed for students who want to advance quickly and master concertina music fast. The large black buttons make it easy to tackle tricky concertina fingering and helps the student avoid too many errors whilst the excellent sound produced keeps spirits up, encourages practice and is an easy concertina to play - perfect for any beginner.
High Standard
Stylish appearance to complement its impressive sound: The Wren 2 Anglo Concertina is finished to a high standard. It has a smart monochrome semi-gloss finish and comes with a complimentary premium foam-lined hard case.
