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. |
