Irish Button Accordion for Learners
The McNeela 21 Button Accordion is the perfect starter instrument for any beginner, especially self-taught learners.If you want to learn to play the Irish button accordion but don’t have access to an accordion teacher or accordion lessons, rest assured that you’re learning to play on an instrument that’s approved by the very best Irish button accordion teachers.The McNeela 21 Button Accordion is carefully crafted with ease of play in mind, enabling the player to take control and play with confidence, right from the start.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

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 muso’s in our circle…’ - Joanna G.
Why We Use 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 Czech made reeds which provide a bright, clear tone and plenty of volume.Learn more about the ins and outs of the Irish button accordion.
B/C Tuning
Our McNeela 21 Button 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
With a pearlescent celluloid grey finish, this is a sleek looking accordion, designed with ease of playing in mind. The Czech reeds provide a clear, crisp tone and plenty of volume. So once you’re feeling confident enough, you won’t struggle to be heard at a music session!

Brilliant accordion. Have not played in over 40 years so enjoying relearning

I have received a beautiful B/C accordion and signed up for beginners lessons. These lessons are very helpful with learning all the notes plus the fingering. I’m still very slow but the instrument makes it sound good. This is encouraging for a slow-poke.

I’ve absolutely loved my McNeela Irish B/C Push Button accordion. It is a phenomenal instrument and even though it is a beginner's box it really does feel and play exceptionally well. The packaging was superb and kept my box safe all the way across the Atlantic. I’ve been wanting to pick up the Irish push button accordion for some time now. High price point and no local instructors always kept me from pursuing my interest but McNeela solved them both! This box is a great deal and came with a trail of their beginners online course. The course is very well done and the structure really lets you build confidence in your playing. I’m having a blast learning and I’ve almost finished learning my second tune. I’m sure I will try the intermediate class as well. Benny McCarthy’s teaching method and the additional materials the course provides you are all well worth it.

It amazingly arrived to regional Victoria, Australia within 2 weeks, in excellent condition, boxed and inside a great soft gig bag with zips and adjustable shoulder straps. The tone is rich and loud with a nice easy action. Benny McCarthy's lovely playing online on a similar model, and his recommendations finally convinced me to take up the box. I look forward to learning some tunes through the online masterclass and hope to one day join a session on my new accordion. I have been addicted to Irish music for the past 50 years but only now figure that this accordion suits my stage of life.. lightweight, easy to carry, has great sound and is a challenge to master.

This is an awesome accordion! I already learned several songs on it thanks to Benny's complimentary lessons. I wanted to learn on an accordion that was not "beginners grade" but of course I could not afford a "high end" one. This accordion in my mind performs as well as a high end one, with a significantly smaller price tag. One that was small enough to make me take the plunge and go down the adventurous path of becoming an accordion player! Now I cant take my hands off it, and am getting stronger everyday as an accordion player!
