Brandon McPhee Podcast

Brandon Mcphee History Of Hohner & Jimmy ShandBrandon McPhee offers a fascinating insight into the history of Hohner, the renowned German accordion manufacturer, and its special connection to Scottish music legend Sir Jimmy Shand. He explains how, in the late 1940s, Shand worked closely with Hohner to design a custom instrument that could meet the demands of his energetic and precise playing style. This collaboration led to the creation of the iconic Hohner Shand Morino—the only accordion in the world to bear Shand’s name. Brandon, who has become one of the leading ambassadors of traditional Scottish music, not only shares this history through his performances and recordings but also owns and plays Shand’s very first shand Morino accordion 001. Through his work, McPhee helps preserve the legacy of both Hohner’s craftsmanship and Shand’s musical genius for new generations.brandonmcphee.com
