Butterfly Dulcetina

This lovely two Palitana copper reeded (Bass Male) dulcitina harmonium is made from select India teakwood. Dulcitinas style harmoniums are a challenge to engineer and construct. The flow of air thru the harmonium body gives it it’s unique design, slim profile and portability. The craft necessary to correctly manage air pressure for a balanced two reeded dulcitina is complicated. 

The ‘butterfly’ style of pump and repository bellows along with the attending bellow springs are designed to maximize sustain and promote control of playing this unique style of harmonium. Instead of the normal metal plates that protect the bump bellow from wear and tear, we use inlaid African ebony wood triangles for strength and beauty. The white keys a soft pearlized nylon, the black keys teakwood.
