Harmoniums
We have been selling and tuning harmoniums for more than forty years, first as the Ali Akbar College Store and now as Musician’s Mall. Every instrument is opened, checked and tuned here before it ships — three to five days for a hand-tuned harmonium, seven to ten for an A440 — so that it arrives stable.
The range runs from the Bina 23B, small enough to go as airline carry-on, to Paul & Co. three- and four-reed scale change instruments. Kirtan, classical, scale change and surpetis each have their own section below.
The makers and models we carry include Paul & Co., Bina, Paloma, MKS (Manoj/Monoj Kumar Sardar), BB (Bina Music Center) and MM harmoniums (Musician’s Mall) in folding, upright, portable, 2 reed, 3 reed, 4 reed and mini harmoniums as well as a selection of surpeti (also known as a sruti box or shruti box) and scale change harmoniums.
Many customers call up to ask “What is a harmonium?” A harmonium is a keyboard instrument in which the notes are produced by air pumped through metal reeds by a hand-operated bellows. Please check out ourguide to buying a harmonium
