Harmonium Handmade Musical Instruments Music Color Dark Purple

A harmonium, also called a "melodeon", "reed organ" or "pump organ", is a keyboard instrument that is a lot like an organ. It makes sound by blowing air through reeds, which are tuned to different pitches to make musical notes.
In a hand-pumped harmonium, the player pushes and pulls a handle back and forth with one hand, which is joined to the bellows that blows the air.
There are two sets of bellows, one internal and one external. They are constructed to have 1, 3, 5, or 7 folds.
Because of this, he or she can only use one hand to play the keys as the other has to keep pumping the bellows, so that the instrument could be played while the player was sitting down on the floor.
It is often being used for spiritual and devotional music by many Raagis and musicians.
Raagas, Mantras, Poojas and Shabads, Kirtan, Bhajans and holy songs – especially when travelling or moving from one location to the next one.
This Harmonium with its shorter 25-note scale over, its compact measures and lighter weight is the perfect musical companion, offering a vast musical variety.
The sonorous, soft and warm sounds of the lower keys, coupled with the expressiveness of the higher keys when used for fast solo-passages both support the vocal singing with a warm sound-carpet, as well as being a perfectly brilliant and outstanding solo instrument when needed as such.
This Harmonium offers a long reverberation which allows you to play also more silent, almost whispering tones.

Its unique sound derives from the selection of special Reeds - sound producing metal tongues – which swing even with little air. It is the interaction between the Reeds and the sound-enfolding wooden parts of the Harmonium which creates the touching and natural sounds that make the Harmonium so popular and, with open lid and stronger pumping movements, allow you to also use the Harmonium as a powerful and leading instrument.
This harmoniums create a clean, warm and rich sound with a large musical spectrum.
Bellows can be opened on on the side. Side pumping bellows have a softer pumping action and can be easier to play. Adjusting the spring is a way to make it easier to pump. The bellow opens sideward and is held by two brackets, right- and lefthanders to play the Harmonium comfortably.
By closing the Jali (above left) the volume and sharpness of the Harmonium reed sound reduces thus giving a soothing and softer tone.
By opening the Jali (above right), the volume increases, and the sound of the reeds can be heard clearly with crisp sound.
This is a handmade instrument. It comes with fine tuning.

Parts of Harmonium
A harmonium has a number of different parts that are dependent on each other to create the desired sound. Let’s look closer at these now.
1. Body:
The box where all of the parts are built into is known as the body. This style of harmonium that collapses.
Collapsible harmoniums pack easier into a case because they collapse taking up less space.
2. Bellows:
These are the pumps. This is External bellow harmonium and are the most common. They are pumped by hand.
3. Keys:
The musician plays these similar to a piano or accordion.
There are white and black keys. This harmonium has three Octaves. The keyboards in this harmonium is Vertical pivot pin style. The pins move in a vertical motion when pressed by the fingers. This allows the reeds to vibrate as two holes are uncovered when the key is played.
4. Cover:
This is a piece of wood that covers the actual components of the harmonium. Some come protected with glass or cloth. Covers are expensive to replace. The cover is important as it serves two purposes.
• Protect the harmonium from damage.
• Muting the sound.
5. Main Stops:
These are the valves that control how the air flows into the harmonium reed chambers. Most harmoniums have one stop for each reed chamber. In some instance, they may have more than one. If so, it is often to serve a special purpose such as the pitch that comes from playing a note quickly.
This harmonium has built with stops.
6. Handles:
Harmoniums are easy to carry around thanks to handles. A box style harmonium has two handles.

This harmonium has a suitcase-style harmonium and has one Handle.
7. Reeds:
These are also referred to as metal tongues. Harmoniums come with 1, 2, 3, or 4 banks of reeds. These come with a different sound referred to as male, female, bass, or tenor.
Each key must have at least one reed while it is more common to see sets of two or three. Reeds are made of brass and set into a brass base. They vibrate as air passes over them producing a sound.
8. Coupler:
A key located an octave above the key being played is known as a coupler. It is called a mechanical arrangement because is produces a fuller sound than when the key is played by itself. The performer enables or chooses not to use this coupler.
This harmonium comes with Coupler.
9. Reed Board:
This is basically a piece of wood with holes.
Long holes are cut into the board and covered by the brass reeds. The reeds are arranged normally in a single, double, or triple bank.
A double-banked is known as a double reed harmonium. A triple bank is called a triple reed harmonium and is more expensive.
This is the Double read harmonium.
The board is set in a perpendicular baffle but can be flat.
This harmonium has flat baffle.
