Concertina Upgrade!

- I loved playing my Wren concertina so much that I decided to upgrade it to a new Phoenix model from McNeela Music. Here's my excitement after having it for about half an hour. I do give some comparisons, but if you have any questions, please leave a comment and I'll try to better explain the differences between the two instruments.

Thanks for making this video and describing the differences between the different models. I ordered a Phoenix. I have to upgrade too. McNeela should pay you some credits for your review.
They're both great, but the buttons on the Wren are harder for me to reach with my big hands, and the overall quality is noticably better on the Phoenix. I'm sure you're going to love it!
I love the Phoenix. Thanks again for a good review. You sold it. Thank you.
@@hyacinthinemoonglad you like it! Now if I could talk Paraic McNeela into giving me a commission!
I love the look of the phoenix though my budget is pretty low so I picked up the wren 2. Maybe I'll upgrade later like you did.
Can't go wrong either way! The inside row of buttons is a little easier for me to reach with the Phoenix. I have large hands.
@@PeptoJoe yeh I've been playing on a ~€230 concertina and the inside buttons were very hard to press because they were very close to the strap and the springs on those buttons were stronger for some reason. Anyways I've asked my money back after multiple defects so I decided to buy a proper concertina this time :)
I found a used Swan for just a little bit more expensive than a Wren. Lucky me.
What kind of concertinas are these? Anglo, English or duet. Beautiful restaurant, by the way!
This is an Anglo Concertina
@@PeptoJoe thank you!! Where is your restaurant located....?
I'm pretty sure it's a greenscreen wallpaper.
Where is the photo you are using in the background from? Is it the Griswold Inn in Essex, CT?
I hate to give away my secrets, but honestly I have no idea. I saw the picture and just thought it looked cool. 😀
@@PeptoJoe I did a quick Google image search and it is indeed the Griswold Inn, a historic restaurant built in 1776 in my home town. You should visit it if you are ever in New England!
Is it in Jeffries or wheatstone tuning
It's Jeffries
2:32 more responsive might be what you were looking for 😉
They're tighter and smoother, and yes, more responsive. For some reason they seem easier to play. My fingers can reach the inside row better and using the air button is easier. Maybe the nicer leather straps help with those things.
