The coupler thus gives the possibility, together with the double reeds, to produce a particularly powerful, voluminous sound. You should consider, however, that the more reeds are blown, the more air has to be supplied by the bellows, but the instrument has a large, long lasting bellows volume.

The harmonium and the case are made of pine wood, which is softer than the wood usually used for instrument building. As a result, the instruments made of pinewood can get small dents or other beauty defects in the wood, even during the construction phase, as a result of transport and export. These are to be viewed as material and not a defect.

SARANG harmoniums are characterised by a particularly fine quality of material and workmanship, setting them apart from similarly constructed models from other manufacturers. Sarang is the international brand name for instruments made by Amaanshi Exports from Ghaziabad, a neighbouring city of Delhi. Amaanshi Exports was founded in 1966 and is now run by the third generation of the founder's grandson, Mayank Kumar. Amaanshi builds all the harmonium models typical for Delhi and north-western India.

The harmonium models offered by us are tuned in India to the western standard A 440 Hertz. In our climatic conditions, the tuning is at a minimum higher 441 - max. 442 Hertz. Even a trained ear is not necessarily able to hear this and most of our musician clients can accept this minimal higher tuning. However, with instruments whose tuning can not be easily adapted, problems may arise. If this is the case, please let us know. If necessary, we can tune a harmonium to 440 Hertz for an extra charge. Other tunings which are far away from the 440 Hertz, such as the often requested 432 Hertz cannot be tuned, it has to be ordered in India, The waiting period is several months. Just ask us if you would like to have a Harmonium on that tuning.
