Harmonium - Tirupati Standard OM - white

Harmonium - Tirupati Standard OM - white

---

This beautiful Tirupati OM harmonium stands out from the usual brown wood colours. White lacquer, red fabric, silver fittings and the carved OM symbol create a very special look. And musically this model leaves hardly anything to be desired.

According to the teachings of Kundalini Yoga, the colour white is said to calm the mind, strengthen the aura and enhance consciousness. White embodies the light that protects us from negative influences. In the West white symbolises purity and innocence. For spiritual practitioners these can be good reasons to choose a white harmonium.

Double reeds give the Tirupati Standard OM white a full, warm, rich sound. The octave coupler provides special brilliance and radiance when needed. The range of 3 ½ octaves gives full scope of musical possibilities. And the inner bellows gives a very good sustain due to its large size and soft spring setup. A good instrument for people with demands beyond the basic requirements.

Features:

• 42 simple stick keys
• range of 3 octaves and 5 notes from C to F
• two high-quality reeds per note in low and middle register (bass / male)
• 5 register stops for playing middle and low registers together or separately

• multifold side bellows

• cabinet made of pine wood (pine wood is mainly used for harmoniums in the area around Delhi. It is lighter, but also much softer than the teak wood used in Mumbai and Kolkata. Therefore many pine harmoniums get small dents or other blemishes during production and transport to Europe - these are caused by the material and are not to be regarded as defects)
• removable lid (Jali) with carved OM symbol
• metal handles
• incl. padded bag
• Dimensions: height 28 cm, width 61 cm depth 33 cm, weight 10.5 kg

Each instrument is individually hand-crafted and might differ from our description (e.g. in colour or ornamentation).
