I've seen a few posts about Indian music parties/concerts... so I thought
I'd ask... Has anyone on the list played, or know much about Harmoniums?
I saw a performance recently and thought they were pretty darn cool. So I
found some mail order places... but I'm not familiar with the terminology.
Could someone please explain double-reeds, triple-reeds, 9-stops, organ
tune, scale change, etc? I can guess at some of the features, but I'd
want to know what I was talking about before I spent some money. Thanks
for any insight!
