Peacock Custom

Hayden/Wicky Duet Concertina

 

  

 

 

 

 

          Peacock custom: French polished English walnut ends

 

The Custom version of the Peacock is a 42 key hybrid (with accordion type reeds) Wicky (Hayden without the keyboard slant) duet concertina, designed and built by the Concertina Connection Inc.. The instruments measures 7 inch across the flats.

Our Custom Hybrid Peacock bridges the gap between the standard Peacock and the Wakker traditional duet models.

The design and size are identical to the standard Peacock, but the materials used (tone woods, hide/bone glues, french polished finish), are the same as used in the Wakker traditional models. 

The use of tonal woods, selected for their distinct filtering or amplifying characteristics, allow for sound customization.
The protein glues and french polish allow for unresticted soundwave travel through the instrument without glue barriers or a constrictive 'wrap' finish.  The result is a hybrid concertina with an exeptional degree of tonal refinement.
