Tahir Qawwal teaches how to properly tune a harmonium & fix buzzing notes. This is an excerpt from his 6 hour Harmonium Mastery course available here: www.samaschool...
Aapki harmonium andaje se tune ki huvi hai. Perfect karagiri ne tune nahi ki hai. Kyon ki kharj ki line dono taraf se ghisi huvi hai. Perfect karigar huwa to sur ko sirf chadhayega ya to sirf utaarega. Dono tarf se ghisa yani tuning andaje se kar Raha hai. Gustakhi ke liye maafi chahunga.
If you want to tune your harmonium properly you have to do tune and match each reed with another reed like c note to f 🎵 and c 🎵 to g note 🎵 and sound will be soft and melodius between two notes
5 : 22 ,you played background harmonium, the musician was Ustad Farukh Fateh Ali Khan,younger brother of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan sahib, he was king of harmonium, nobody can play like him
I know that in some reeded instruments like harmonica for example (the German style) with two or more reeds is meant to waver, and is designed in that way. My question is why is that waver in the harmonium undesirable for music in the subcontinent? and does it really sound that bad? Perhaps it’s a matter of taste?
