Wud any sound come out if u don't press the air thing. And will it break if u don't keep giving it air?

[Verbeke7]

@509g1

No and no.

[509g1]

@Verbeke7 oh ok cool

[powarsquarrell]

Perfect! I needed to see that~ thanks bro!

I'd be interested in your advice regarding how to buy a good harmonium. How to gauge quality? How do the stops affect the sound? Are there other features beyond size, stops, and drones that should be considered? Does price really reflect quality? How do you maintain tuning? Is there much variation in the keyboard action, such as stiffness and noise? That sort of thing would be VERY helpful! Thanks.

This is pretty cool

When I've looked for harmonium notes/music/tablature - all i've been able to find are what I assume to be indian note forms, which I don't understand. Do the notes translate directly to western notes? If so, are they easy to translate? The reason I ask is that I think the droning would be cool in a rock band, but I am worried that the harmonium might have a few compatability teething problems when paired with, say, a guitar tuned in a standard western way.

[debz0773]

Thanks Jason..that's so helpful. Hari Om Tat Sat.

[deyalexander]

I'm just learning harmonium with no prior music background, so this was a good explanation of droning.

[draedlus]

I like the discussion of the theory involved in playing. Don't play the harmonium myself, but have always loved it. Nicely done.
