Clarke’s Dubh 2 – B/C Button Accordion

Lightweight. Reliable. Irish‑Checked & Tuned.

The Clarke’s Dubh 2 is a dependable 21‑button B/C accordion designed for beginners and developing players who want a solid, easy‑playing instrument with a clean, traditional Irish tone. Every Dubh 2 is individually checked and tuned in Ireland to ensure smooth action, stable tuning, and consistent performance from the very first lesson.

???? Key Features

Imported Steel Reeds – Clear, Steady Tone

Fitted with imported steel reeds selected for reliability and balanced response. Each reed block is tuned and tested in Ireland to give beginners a clean, steady tone that supports accurate playing.

Light Tremolo Tuning (Beginner‑Friendly)

The Dubh 2 is set up in a light tremolo — warm enough to give lift, but controlled enough for students to hear their notes clearly. This tuning helps new players develop clean ornamentation and good intonation without the heavy wobble found in cheaper boxes.

Smooth, Comfortable Action

The Dubh 2 features smooth button travel and a comfortable flat fingerboard, helping new players develop proper technique with ease.

Lightweight & Easy to Handle

A compact, robust body makes the Dubh 2 perfect for younger players or anyone who prefers a lighter instrument for practice and lessons.

Adjustable Straps Included

Comes with adjustable hand and shoulder straps for a secure, comfortable playing position.

QC Checked & Tuned in Ireland

Every Dubh 2 is inspected, tested, and tuned before leaving our workshop, ensuring consistency across all instruments — something mass‑produced boxes can’t guarantee.

Includes Protective Case

A sturdy case is included to keep the instrument safe during transport and storage.

Who the Dubh 2 Is For

The Dubh 2 is ideal for:

• complete beginners
• younger students
• adult learners starting from scratch
• anyone wanting a reliable, affordable first accordion

It offers a clear upgrade from generic starter boxes, with Irish QC and tuning that parents, teachers, and players can trust.
