Book Description
About the Book

The book provides detailed instruction in how to play, maintain, and repair this popular devotional instrument. It also reveals the colourful history of free-reed instruments such as the harmonium, which dates back to the time of Marco Polo. The story behind the modern version of the harmonium is a fascinating testimony to the love, skill, innovation, and intermingling of many of world’s great cultures. The book reveals:

  • The history of the Indian Harmonium, from Ancient China to Europe and America
  • The essentials of owning and caring for Indian harmoniums, helping them give many years of service
  • How to play the harmonium in a variety of styles, from the simple to the complex, including single-note melody, melody with a drone, chords, and other more advanced methods (a complete appendix of chords and chord inversions is provided)
  • How to explore the "inner realms" of the instrument and perform a variety of adjustments and corrections, including how to tune a harmonium’s individual brass reeds.

In the Harmonium Handbook, the author offers in written form the love of his heart and the depth of his experience as both musician and technician.
