Ikhonsathi, insimbi yomculo yohlanga lwamahhala (free-read), iyindalo yesimanjemanje endaweni yezinsimbi zomdabu, nokho inomlando onothile obonakala ngokusungula izinto ezintsha nokuhlanganiswa kwamasiko. Uhambo lwayo ukusuka ekusungulweni kuya ekudumeni okusabalele lugqamisa ubuhlakani babadali bayo nezindlela ezahlukahlukene eye yamukelwa ngayo abaculi emhlabeni wonke.

Ikhonsathini yakhiwa ngesikhathi sentokozo esikhulu ngesikhathi sokukhiqizwa kwemsindo futhi bekuyingxenye yenkambiso ebanzi yokuthuthukisa amathuluzi anomhlanga (free-read), okuhlanganisa i-accordion ne-harmonium.
Ikhonsathi ye-Wheatstone yayine-hexagonal futhi ifaka uchungechunge lwezinkinobho kuzo zombili iziphetho. Lapho lezi zinkinobho zicindezelwa, zazivula ama-valve ayevumela umoya ukuba ugeleze phezu kwemihlanga, ekhiqiza amanothi omculo. Idizayini ibihlangene futhi iyaphatheka, obekuyihlukanisa kwezinye izinsimbi ezisuselwe kukhibhodi yangaleso sikhathi.
Ukwakhiwa kanye nezinguquko
Ngemva kokusungulwa kuka-Wheatstone, ikhonsathi yashintsha ngokushesha yaba izinhlobo eziningana ezihlukene, ngayinye inezici ezihlukile ezifanele izitayela zomculo ezahlukene kanye nokuthandwayo kwesifunda.
I-English Concertina

Umlando wekhonsathi uwubufakazi bokukhanga okuhlala njalo kokuqanjwa kabusha komculo nokushintshisana ngamasiko. Kusukela ekusungulweni kwayo ngekhulu le-19 eNgilandi kuya ekusetshenzisweni kwayo ngamasiko ahlukahlukene omculo emhlabeni wonke, ikhonsathini ibonakale iyithuluzi elisebenza ngezindlela eziningi nelithandwayo. Umsindo wayo oyingqayizivele kanye nomlando ocebile uyaqhubeka nokugqugquzela abaculi nezethameli ngokufanayo, ulondolozela izizukulwane ezizayo ifa lawo.
