excited

I has no idea which harmonium to buy- and finally settled on this one (not exactly sure why). I'm still getting a feel for it but the craftsmanship is obviously excellent and I'm having so much fun playing it. I may in the future get a bigger one for my yoga studio and treat this as my at-home and travel harmonium. For now, its perfect. Thanks Nick for starting such an amazing company and supporting craftspeople and budding musicians in the world - Im not sure you could be doing more important work.

Exquisite Instrument and Excellent Customer Service

I Highly recommend Old Delhi Music. Their customer service is exceptional and I absolutely adore my Bhava Lite "travel" Harmonium... It arrived ahead of schedule and was so well packaged. Thank you, All! :)

As expected, great quality

I love it! I expected a Bahava to be top quality and I am not disappointed. Bahavas are priced at a premium but you do get what you pay for, it is well built and sounds great. I wanted a simple, small, and light harmonium for ritual use and this is perfect. Highly recommend.

OUR TUNING PROCESS:

Our standard harmonium tuning process begins at our shop in India and ends at our U.S. location where a member of our staff - all highly trained and deeply experienced musicians - will finalize the set-up and tuning on every harmonium we sell. You won't find a more thorough refinement process anywhere.

BHAVA HARMONIUM TUNING OPTIONS:

Concert Pitch (A440 tuning) - FREE: This is the best choice for most musicians, students, and those who play their instrument with others. A440 hz is the tuning standard for Western Instruments - piano, guitar, etc. Some refer to this as “Concert Pitch A440”. For this service, our expert musicians in the US will tune the instrument to correspond with the Concert Pitch standard.

Cosmic Pitch (A432 Tuning) - Add $100/Non-returnable: For most customers, this service is neither practical nor recommended, but for those who are experimenting in this direction, we do offer the service on select models from our store. With this service, all reeds are drastically retuned nearly a quarter tone below standard Concert Pitch to match a middle A resonating at exactly 432 hz. While this service will not void any warranty with our store, it is not reversible. Therefore, any harmoniums or shruti boxes tuned to A432 will not be eligible for return or exchange.

An A432 hz. referenced instrument will sound very out of tune when played alongside any traditionally tuned instrument. This means if you are taking a harmonium course, you will not be able to play this instrument alongside your instructor or classmates. Similarly, if you are using this instrument in a recording or performing context, you will not be able to use this unless every other instrument is also tuned to this pitch reference.

While much of India is rapidly advancing, the Indian instrument manufacturing process remains very old school. From touch ups to tuning, much of what we do at Old Delhi Music is add a layer of quality control to an otherwise non-standardized production process.

We wrote THIS ARTICLE to ensure customers understand and might appreciate this vintage production style, the unique products we carry, and how we're working to ensure genuine quality, despite the odds. It's a quick read, and definitely worthwhile for anyone considering the purchase of a traditional Indian instrument.

Thank you,
Old Delhi Music
