Lovely video! Could you go more in depth on chords in specific raagas also? I know its quite a lot to cover in this topic. But I am a bit facinated by your approach to this, (combining east and west together.) For example, taking Raag Bhoop/Mohanam in Scale C, you can play the C Major Chord and the F Major Chord, despite the lack of 4th Note ("Ma" or "F note"). But in rare circumstances do I find myself playing a G Major Chord and even rarer an A minor or a D minor chords.
Plagiarised from Ustad Mehdi Hassan Khan sahib’ s original beautiful ghazal Pyar bhare do shameelay nain. But very well sung and beautifully played nevertheless
It would've been helpful if you gave us some context in point 2 about what kinds of prices to look for. For example how much the ones you've seen cost, including the details about where and when you are to adjust for currency and inflation.
Thanks for vedio, I understood, that each note is tuned on different pitch in reference to 440 . I have a kaps my 10 tuner for my guitar, can I use it to tune my harmonium. But it show always 440 always for each note

But as i am feeling, that harmonium is sounding some sharp, so i can understand from your advise tonuse piono tuner. can you suggest any mobile app for piano tuning and why I cannot use guitar tuner , pl ?
When I bought mine, buying used and repairing was my only option so I bought the one I found with the most keys and thought was old but it was less than 8 years old with over half a century of damage and poorly built. The parts that close holes are cheap pieces of wood that sit on particle board with no felts held down by particle board pieces with unusable rusty screws tapped in like nails so I had to rip them out with only a few having deep enough slots to put a screw driver into and still not coming out all the way. After that, I put bigger screws in and foam on the bottom of the wood parts to make a better seal so now it hardly leaks and the tremulant works then lubricated moving parts as there’s no felts in the parts of the keys pins go through like you see on a piano. Now it’s mostly functional besides the drone notes not working right and always being too quiet because the design but I don’t use those anyway so making sure they don’t leak was my priority. I definitely won’t be doing a full restoration on it cause not a single part of it is of decent enough quality but it’s good enough for someone who can’t afford one once I’m done with it or keep it as a second instrument if I start playing with other since I don’t use standard tuning for my own music but the tuning on my harmonium is super high at 450hz. It's such a shame that the quality we had in the past can no longer be found in a modern instrument, especially the large harmoniums that you pump with your feet and took up almost as much floor space as an upright piano.
Thank you this is helpful. Is it possible to change female octave to male ? I have middle octave that seems to be female one( very high pitch) .. I need to convert middle octave to lower octave. Is there easy way to do that ?
