How do I buy a harmonium for the course?

Please email my friends in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India at: info@saptaswara.in and mention that you are taking a course with K. Sridhar’s American student Allison. Ask Saptaswara Musicals about their money back guarantee if the instrument arrives damaged.

I suggest a double reed harmonium without a coupler. At least seven stops, more is fine. You don’t need anything fancy. With shipping it should cost $400-ish.

  • Harmonium: gain access to the music library with video tutorials for 50+ mantras and chants -  if you are a brand new beginner you are welcome to join Rivers of Sound,though you may enjoy starting with Allison's intro course “An Ocean of Sound” here
