The pedal system provides smooth, continuous airflow while freeing both hands for the keyboard, opening up greater dynamic control, more fluid playing, and deep, rich harmonics. And when pedals aren't practical, it performs beautifully as a conventional hand-pumped harmonium. From studio recording and kirtan to concerts, practice, and travel, it is designed to adapt without compromising the sound or feel of a truly exceptional instrument.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LjoDoAW9NCk?si=EgR9Z0sFzwdyNTqk\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DziqxD3Pp-A\" title=\"Bhava Concert Edition Harmoniums | Customer Review | Kevin McCormack, Jacksonville, FL, USA\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Expert tuning and refinement services completed at our shop in Urbana, IL\u003cbr\u003e- Learning offers from our friends at the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bhaktibreakfastclub.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBhakti Breakfast Club\u003c\/a\u003e (first month FREE access), \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kirtanleader.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKirtanLeader.com\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredsoundlab.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSacred Sound Lab\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e- Padded Gig Bag\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eProduct Specs\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 53 lbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (L x W x H)\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen in playing position: 24 x 14 x 34 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Matte\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExterior Construction: Select Teak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior Construction: Select Pine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox Type: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey Construction: One-piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Keys: 42 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReed type: \u003cspan\u003ePunjabi-style, Classic Premier\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReed banks: 2 sets (Bass, Male)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReed orientation: Horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStops: 5 (Male, Bass, Bass, Tremolo, Male)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrones: 4 (C, D, G, A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale changer: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Store Info\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSHIPPING: Your instrument will arrive safely, and if it doesn't, we'll take care of it.
