Old Delhi Music is a small business run by a few mindful folks intent on making the worlds very best Indian folk instruments available to customers in North America and beyond. We do our honest best to curate a selection of instruments we feel good about, but if you don't love anything you buy from us, we don't want you to feel stuck with it. In the case you wish to exchange or return something you have purchased from us, the following policies apply (READ OUR RETURN FULL POLICY HERE)
RETURNS
Our policy lasts 14 days from the day you receive your instrument. Beyond this, unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund or exchange. To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.
REFUNDS (if applicable)
Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within a certain amount of days.
Only standard items may be refunded. We cannot refund purchases of products that have been highly customized per customer request. This policy excludes standard tuning or tuning to A440, but includes tuning to A432 and other less common calibrations.

We will replace all standard items or parts if they are defective or otherwise damaged. B-stock and used instruments are not replaceable but still eligible for exchange. If you need to exchange any item, please send us an email at olddelhimusic@gmail.com .
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

I already have the full size Teak harmonium at home and decided to get this Lite version for travel. On my way to Dharamshala from Australia, Nic and his team were able to coordinate delivering this mini harmonium to me in Delhi during my layover.
The harmonium is actually slightly taller than the standard for carry-on (it would not fit in the sizing rack at the airport). However, no airline staff questioned it and I was able to bring it as carry-on onto 4 flights. On the small plane from Delhi to Dharamshala, it would not fit in the overhead storage, but it JUST fit under the seat.
Small but mighty, this harmonium has a gorgeous warm and full sound and will be my companion on many trips to India as I continue my musical journey.
Thank you to the whole ODM team for making such quality instruments and for the always excellent customer service!
Thanks for the great review, Bonnie!
As a clarification re: travel. These DO fit in a 'typical' overhead compartment, but on a smaller plane, those compartments can be smaller. I am glad that in this example, it still fit underneath the seat. For sure, it is 'small but mighty'...better than anything else this size.
RE: air travel with harmoniums - Airlines generally give exemptions for musical instruments that are larger than the allowable carry on size for luggage. The simple reason is that they don't want to be liable for breaking someones prized instrument.
Hope this addendum is helpful!

I've just received the Bhava Lite Concert, and it's perfect for my devotional practice. It's small enough to play on my lap before meditation, allowing me to feel the frequencies resonating through my body. The craftsmanship of this harmonium is truly amazing. Shipping to New Zealand was quick and easy. Bernie K

I just received my new harmonium and she is perfect! So beautiful. Sound is perfect. Top quality. Having bought a dud from India before, I highly recommend buying from old Delhi. The harmonium was shipped to Australia super quick.

This turned out to be exactly what we wanted: great sound and great craftsmanship in a small, lightweight package. For our needs (small living space and a need for mobility) at this time, it's perfect.
