We're so glad you asked! No! A harmonium is NOT required. Any keyboarding instrument, like a piano, organ, keyboard, electric piano, etc, will do!

Harmoniums can be finicky instruments, they have wooden parts that can expand or contract with the weather, keys can stick or buzz, leaks can spring in the bellows -- so it's important to start with a high-quality instrument from an instrument importer.

Some things to consider before purchasing: 

• Will you be traveling by plane with the harmonium?
• Will you be taking it outside your home often?
• Are you looking to perform harmonium professionally or record in the studio?

Talk to the owner or staff of the source and tell them your needs and goals, and they will recommend a suitable model for you! 

I have played and owned many types of harmoniums over 25 years, and I am the most impressed with the overall quality and customer service of the following sources. 

1) Ragamala Harmoniums by David Estes - email [email protected] for price list and shipping information. Visit the FB Page.  

Harmoniums in stock! I bought a Ragamala Peti harmonium as a gift for my Mom (who was looking for something lightweight, easy to carry, and that wouldn't strain her neck/shoulders), and we love it! It's a light-weight, ultra-portable, lovely harmonium. The tone and sustain is remarkable given its small size. If you are looking for something light and compact and with a beautiful tone, this is perfect. David personally designs Ragamala® harmoniums inside and out and has them made in India by skilled craftsmen under strict quality control supervision. Email David to find out pricing and models in stock. 

2) Old Delhi Music | 312-869-9092 or [email protected]

Harmoniums are in stock! I own the Bhava Mini, and Panipat Deluxe Studio, and love both of them. The owner, Nic, does an impeccable job sourcing and importing quality instruments. Call to discuss your needs with the store.

Other Options: 

1) Keshav Music in NYC 

I own the DMS 4b and it's a great harmonium for traveling, and works great for home practice as well.

2) Mindra's Harmonium Sales & Repairs | Queens

I have heard good things about Mindra's harmoniums and service, but never bought from him myself. 

3) E-Bay, Amazon, Craigslist, etc - NOT recommended for reasons explained above. However if you are able to check out the harmonium yourself and you enjoy the tone and sustain, and all the keys work, then go for it!
