The Harmonium Handbook provides detailed instruction in how to play, maintain, and repair this popular devotional instrument. It also reveals the colorful 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 the world's great cultures.
The Harmonium Handbook 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.
Satyaki Kraig Brockschmidt is a Microsoft design engineer. He offers precision, inspiration, and an occasional dose of wit in sharing both his musical and technical experience with this special instrument.
