GUEST,Suibhne (Astray) Very cheap keyboard - suggestions? (81* d) RE: Very cheap keyboard - suggestions? 23 Jan 10


The lap-top harmonium was HERE - not sure if he'll be relisting. It's a great idea for a portable harmonium, but the joinery wouldn't have got you a CSE Grade 5 in woodwook (circa 1976) - for the price one expects more somehow. Plus points - it sounds great, & with further adjustments (like narrowing the interface between the bellows & reed bed) we've got it perfect. Like a lot of Indian instruments, it's in miliary pitch - several cents sharp of concert, but at least it's in tune with itself. Like all harmoniums the sound is continuous, the difference here is the use of sprung reciprocal shruti box type bellows rather that the more efficient wind-chest.

Rating 5/10 - workable but not at that price!
