  • The purpose of this video is to help those who have some experience in harmonium repairing and maintenance to learn basics of scale-changer harmonium maintenance in an easy and practical way.
    Disclaimer: The purpose of this video is NOT to encourage scale-changer harmonium owners to do this process themselves. Disassembling, cleaning and reassembling of scale changer harmonium is a delicate process and I do not recommend inexperienced persons to do it.

IT IS SO NICE OF YOU TO HAVE MADE THIS VIDEO SO ABSORBING WITH MINUTE DETAILS ABOUT CLEANING THE CHANGER TRIPLE READ HARMONIUM. i OWN ONE , AM A HARMONIUM PLAYER THOUGH NOT A PROFESSIONAL, AND RECENTLY I HAD SOME MINOR PROBLEMS AND WAS SEARCHING FOR SUCH A VIDEO.

    Thanks for all your hard work in preparation and upload of this VERY detailed instructional presentation of " HOW TO CLEAN AND CONDITION MAHARAJA STYLE HARMONIUM " which is what is seen here. That is the name of such harmonium among the Indian Classical Music players, also Hindustani Classical Music as well as Karnatic Music players. Greatly detailed work, master. Thanks a lot.

    Interesting! Would it be possible to convert a scale changer harmonium into a fixed key one? I personally would prefer the range of a fixed key but fixed key harmoniums with 3 or more reed banks are somewhat rare.

      It's not possible. Two completely different designs.

    Great information sir. Quick questions - How can you level the keys of a scale changer harmonium so that when moving up a scale, the level remains balance?

    • @HarmoniumHelp
      @HarmoniumHelp Před 3 lety

      Hi Sir. Thank you for your kind reply. There are two small screws on each key. One screw on the front movable part of the key and the other one on the back movable part of the key. These two screws should be used to level the keys properly. But it is a very touchy job and it take some experience to level all keys properly. Especially if the harmonium is a bit old, or lower quality and the functionality of the screws is not proper. It is not enough to level screws properly in one scale-changer position since the levels can change in the next scale-changer position as described in your question. So it is important to level the whole set of back screws properly first (to make all back parts of the keys properly leveled between themselves) and then to proceed with all the screws on the front parts of the keys. In that way the proper key levels will be kept in all scale-changer positions. I hope this helps.

    Hi, I am a musician. I play harmonium and I have a harmonium that works fine. Unfortunately, that is not the case with my friend who has a harmonium that is used very little, basically new. He wants to learn playing harmonium from me. It appears that the harmonium was damaged during transportation. The two sets of keys on his harmonium are not aligned, thus a couple of keys slide of the alignment while playing. The knob in the front that is used to change scales, is bent during transportation.
    Obviously, the keys need to be aliened. He needs help. I have shared your CZcams channel link to him. Can you please share your contact information so that I can share it with him? I know he would like to in get in touch with you. Thanks.

    Thank you for doing this. Very helpful. Have you ever replaced the reeds on a scale changer?

    • @HarmoniumHelp
      @HarmoniumHelp Před 3 lety

      Yes. I have changed a few times the whole set of reeds to make Bass-Male-Female harmonium Male-Male-Female harmonium. And once I have changed all redds to new ones (english reeds). Here is an instagram link: instagram.com/p/CH_JDS0AmpI/?igshid=161np7lnev49r

    Hare krishna, have a one question, why the Harmmonium manufacturer leaves this base plate unpolished ?? If they do spirit polish only on all internal part like base plate, keys , coupler arms etc, it will increase life and air tight?? Can we do spirit polish by hand on these internal parts at home?? Pl advise.

    • @HarmoniumMelodies
      @HarmoniumMelodies Před 3 lety

      The best would be that you ask this question to harmonium manufacturers. I am not a harmonium manufacturer and I don't know the definite answer. However, I doubt that the polish would have any effect on air tight. It may increase wood life... but I have seen 80+ years old harmoniums which are quite nice without such polish.
