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.

Equal Tuning - (Free): This service is recommended for anyone playing in traditional non-Western orientations or simply enjoying music independently and/or not playing in any groups. These instruments are nicely in tune to themselves, but not universally matched to any specific pitch reference. This is the typical approach taken in India.

Concert Pitch (A440 tuning) - Add $200: 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.

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,

Amazing harmonium matched by excellent customer service

I purchased the 13/4 Paul & Co Harmonium with wet tuning, together with a harmonium pick-up and mini-mike amp.

I have to say the harmonium is the creme de la creme of harmoniums, and although its hefty both in price and weight, trust me when I say you won't get anything that betters this. Everything about the harmonium oozes quality from the materials, manufacture to the final product, sustain and the sound itself.

The order placement was smooth and seamless. Nic, patiently and diligently, responded to all my queries prior to purchase, and Jacob kept me updated as to the various stages post order placement. The item was packed securely and arrived in fully functional state, with only a couple of minor body issues which were promptly resolved to my satisfaction by both Jacob and Nic.

All said, the customer service is amazing. I would like to thank Nick and Jacob for the very pleasant shopping experience with OldDelhiMusic. I have and shall continue to recommend ODM to family and friends. To e-iterate a previous review, the guys at ODM have more than earned my trust, and I look forward to doing more business with ODM in the future!

All the best!

5-star Service

Thrilled with my Paul & Co. harmonium!

Nic patiently answered all my questions prior to the sale and, true to his word, packed the instrument really well to ensure a safe arrival. I couldn't be happier with the entire transaction.
Perhaps best of all, it's very reassuring to know I purchased a genuine Paul harmonium from someone that's keeping the tradition alive.

Old Delhi Music has earned my trust and landed a customer for life.

Amazing

I hummed and hawed for months trying to decide what Harmoium to buy and from who. Nic and Jacob were so well informed and very helpful in answering all my questions, and I had quite a few lol. Anyone who is a Harmoium person will know that the quality control India has on these instruments are not to our standards in North America. So finding a good middle man or men, is essential! Nic and Jacob are exactly that. They tweak and fine tune these instruments superbly! I, much like many others had purchased a Harmoium prior without doing my homework, and have had ongoing issues with it. So I made sure this time it wouldn’t happen!

This 3 read fixed Paul plays like butter. The sustain is unparalleled! The craftsmanship is what you would expect on a Paul! Unbelievable.. the sound is soulful, it resonates through your body! I can’t stop playing it, and when I’m not playing it, I’m looking at its beauty!!

I’m so happy with my purchase and thank you Nic and Jacob for your help! I look forward to doing business with you guys again!

Cheers!
