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.

•  Wakker 6 fold black bellows

Bi-directional vs. Uni-directional keyboards

The Troubadour is available  with both bidirectional and unidirectional keyboards. The layout is identical, but the keyboard direction is different.

Bidirectional keyboard (standard):
Keyboard ascending direction (low notes to high notes) is top to bottom for the right hand, and ottom to top for the left hand.  Fingering for both hands is not identical (opposite).
