Hand-picked harmoniums and kirtan instruments, the ones I play and trust myself, chosen with care for my students.
Dear harmonium lover,
Choosing a harmonium is personal. It's the instrument you'll sit with every day, sing with and grow with. So I want you to have one that sounds beautiful and makes you want to play.
That's why I only recommend harmoniums I truly know. I play many of these instruments myself, and I know the owner of Raga Harmoniums well. Every instrument is tuned and checked in their workshop in Italy (for shipping in Europe) or shipped directly from India (rest of the world).
So many of my students play on these harmoniums, and they all tell me the same thing: they love the quality, the sound and the service.
Below you'll find my selection of the best harmoniums, from light travel models to concert scale changers. And in case you're curious, I've added a few other instruments too, like mridanga, tabla, dholak, kartals and shruti boxes.
With warmth, Kenny Clarys
