Harmonium Handbook: Owning Playing and Maintaining the Devotional Instrument of India

This is a very good book on the workings of the harmonium. I had two stuck keys on my new harmonium after travelling back to Ireland from Asia with it and nobody in Ireland to repair it for me. After reading this book I was confident to do my own harmonium repair which only took me 15 minutes.

This book is a must for anyone owning a harmonium. It's got all the information I need to restore an ageing harmonium that I've been given and it's a joy to use.

Not many books on Harmonium, this one decent starter.

Great book - thank you :o)

As a piano player, and owning three digital keyboards, I fancied the idea of getting a harmonium, but knowing nothing about them and seeing this book offered I thought it would be sensible to study it before going off and buying the instrument. I bought it on ABE. It is an excellent book, highly informative, engagingly written, explicitly illustrated, very good value, and for me a GREAT SAVING OF MONEY !!! Before reading it I got very close to spending several hundreds of pounds on something which the book convinced me was totally unsuited to my musical skills and temperament. It showed me that the harmonium is a very lovely thing in the right hands, but that mine are not those hands.

This book serves as an excellent introduction to the Harmonium (not least for the trouble shooting and information on repairing your harmonium, which puts this book in the 'one to keep' pile). I would have liked for there to be more music examples, but as a handbook for getting to know your harmonium and what makes it tick (and if it does happen to tick, how to put it right heehee) this book is an excellent choice.
