Scale-Changer 3 Reed Round Top Lotus

This gorgeous three Palitana copper reeded (Bass Female Male) rosewood 7 position scale changing harmonium is made from the most beautifully grained Indian teakwood and has been played very little from Circa 2010. To eliminate the traditionally used metal brackets that provide structural strength to the body of the harmonium but detracts from the inherent beauty of the wood, it takes 10 days for our craftsmen to cut and fit beautiful dovetail joints. All the edges are intentionally rounded for a soft inviting feel. The front pump bellow and base of this harmonium are adorned with hand carved floral patterns. 

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. When thinking of various ways to modify the basic harmonium design to promote/enhance sound, the round top gave birth. The idea was to create more, volume of space, within the tone projecting area for sounds to come together in a mixed harmonized manner. This rounded top is hand molded and fitted from a solid piece of wood. The grill or Joli design work is hand carved, edges tooled for a soft appearance and has a beautiful Mother-of-Pearl lotus flower inlaid in the center. The white keys are nylon and give a most wonderful soft feel, the black keys handmade from teakwood.
