banjira Deluxe 11-Knob Harmonium with Dark Finish (Item Code: HMDC-11D)
This Deluxe Harmonium features a fixed body with removable keyboard cover. The multi-fold bellows that can be played left or right handed. The full keyboard has a 3 1/2 octave range. There are 5 drones and 6 stops.
This model is tuned to A=440 Hz (+-3 cents).
Accessories Included: Padded Soft Case
Although it was invented in France nearly 200 years ago, the harmonium has been extremely popular and strongly embraced by India after it was brought there during the British Occupation. It is not meant to be played in concert like a mini organ and is mainly used as an accompaniment to devotional songs. As with many Indian instruments, the key for the music is selected to best suit the vocals or to set a mood. The reeds in the harmonium are tuned to sound well together, but not necessarily with other instruments. As such, they are not in concert pitch and not meant to be played like a Western table-top organ. Traditionally, harmoniums are usually higher pitched if compared to the Western scale.
DISCLAIMER: Instrument's finish color and decor may vary from photo. Shellac is very impressionable (no pun intended) and during the instrument's long transportation from India, the shellac finish becomes marred by the packing materials and may cause the sides of harmoniums to have impressions. These impressions are cosmetic and do not affect the playability or sound, so we do not consider such impressions as blemishes or defects.
