MAHARAJA Walnut Color Harmonium No. 5400w - 9 Stop - 3½ Octave - With Coupler, Comes with Book & Bag - Tuned to A440 (PDI-BDE)

The media could not be loaded.  it says "folding" and this specific model is not folding. It is pretty heavy and pretty big. I need one that can be taken to carry-on on an airplane and this one is pretty big and heavy. So I am returning and buying another one which is folding.The quality of assembly and parts is authentic as if it was made by hand hundreds of years ago. the design is good and it sounds as it should. I really love to be able to have a harmonium for 300$, with prime shipping. It is a great bargain.I play other instruments including keyboard, so it was my first experience with a harmonium.Sounds wonderful, easy to play.The keys are sort of hard to press and a bit stick on the way, but with some skill it is possible to manage.I learned a few obvious tricks.1. The pumping thing has to be locked on one side and open on another. The hand is best placed in the middle of it.You can pump extra air with a bit of extra force and keep it moderately pumped.2. The volume can be adjusted by moving push-pins.My favorite teacher is happyhippo on youtube. Hope it helps.

It's absolutely beautiful but has some issues. Many of the keys stick and it's out of tune. My teacher & myself have attempted to correct the problem but I"m still having issues. I need it for class right now so I'm just dealing with it. I do have to give it to the seller for reaching out and trying to help with the issue. I very much appreciated their doing that although it hasn't resolved the issue. I got insurance on this so I'm going to see what I might be able to do with that.
