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

Quality Instrument

Highly recommend the Bhava studio. While I don’t have a lot of experience with other brands of harmoniums, it’s evident that the bhava studio is high quality. The sound is rich and beautiful. It feels sturdy and well made. The staff was really helpful too, I got to talk to someone who answered all my questions. They also sent me a video of my harmonium before they shipped it so I could hear what it sounds like.

Peaceful Times

I've really been enjoying this harmonium, the sound is very rich and full and easy to get lost in. The keys have a really nice action and are effortless to play. I've been listening to Nico for many years and have always wanted a harmonium. This thing is like a time machine and gets me the gothic castle vibes I love. I bought a Casio CB-7 bench for it that fits perfectly for sitting in a chair whilst playing. It's sound is deep and beautiful, menacing and harmonious, and I dig it.

Our ashram has purchased several harmoniums and mridangas from Old Delhi Music. All have arrived in perfect shape and are wonderful, stable instruments. Highly recommend.

Wonderful and exactly as expected!!

I received my harmonium a few weeks ago and have been practicing every day. I purchased this harmonium as it was the right price point, has a really full sound, amazing sustain, and really like the Old Delhi company. It is exactly as I expected and am really happy with the purchase. I think it's a harmonium that I'll really grow into. I have a few friends with harmoniums so I have a decent comparison base and it's such a well made and fantastic sounding harmonium. The videos were super helpful in the decision making process and it really plays true to what you see / hear in the videos. Thanks Old Delhi team!!

Big beautiful sound. Helpful company

I did a lot of research before picking Old Delhi Music. And I listened to lots of youtube comparisons before landing on this one. I also called and spoke on the phone with Nick, who listened to my questions and spent a lot of time guiding me to the instrument that he thought would be the best fit for me. (I'm an absolute beginner, and wanted this for chanting). I must admit Standard Edition is a larger instrument than I had originally planned on/hoped for, but I fell in love with its deep, rich, resonant lower octave, which leaves sonic room for my higher voice. Because this is a big harmonium, the sound is BIG. The sound is gorgeous, but it may overpower your voice if you're not miked. The construction/craftsmanship is stellar - the keys, the wood, the bellows - sooo pretty. I do love playing and chanting to it. So far, it's bringing me a lot of joy.
