If you are thinking about purchasing an Indian harmonium this is my recommendation mostly because of cost. Please visit http://www.toolsforlearningmusic.blogspot.com and http://www.ponderingmusic.blogspot.com for further discussion.

  • @mikaelsong, Yes, the harmonium is equal tempered tuned to A440. Sometimes I play dilruba with western musicians and I also use it in electronic pieces, so there are many times I practice in equal-temperament, but when I am accompanying a classical singer I try my very best to play the traditional shruti-s. There is a "22 shruti harmonium" - and if you google that phrase you will see the instrument, plus wonderful examples of traditional Indian tuning. thanks for watching - Best!

  • Thank you for the video. It's very helpful. Is this harmonium tuned to equal temperament so that it sounds okay in all keys? Is it possible to find a harmonium that is tuned to a temperament closer to the ones used in Indian raga? I would think that when you play your dilruba you are not playing in equal temperament. If you try to record a part on the harmonium and play over that with your dilruba does that create a problem matching pitch? Thank you very much.
