- Description
- The Indian harmonium is also known as samvadini, peti ("box"), or baja, and is generally smaller in size than traditional European harmoniums. There are differing schools of thought as to the use of the harmonium in Indian classical music, with some musicians noting that the instrument is unable to produce slides between notes, while others appreciate the harmonium's ease-of-use and amplified drone sound. The harmonium is often used in North Indian classical vocal music.
