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.

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.

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.

EXCHANGES (if applicable)

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 love this!

Absolutely love this. The sound, the look, the mobility. Not sure if I’ll ever need a bigger harmonium (probably will). I like to sing and play with an upright posture, and it helps to have the harmonium on my lap or a stool. And the size and the weight of this does wonders in this regard. I also love how the vibrations resonate deeply in my body when I have it on my lap.

I know I’ll be playing this for a long time to come. And more importantly - frequently. Below is a picture of my meditation station. And I try to do a couple of chants soon after I meditate every morning.

Thanks Nick, Kodie and the whole team in India for making some wonderful instruments. Well worth the price.
