Aarohi S32
Small, handy size, sturdy construction, lightweight, good quality, good sustain and full, round sound – ideal for travelling yogi*nis and kirtan fans.
The Aarohi S32 is a good travel harmonium for accompanying mantra singing, chanting, yoga and relaxation. Its compact Delhi-style design, with a pine wood case and simple slotted keys, makes the Aarohi S32 particularly light, handy and robust – and therefore ideal for travelling. The wood is only lightly stained, retaining its natural appearance with individual grain patterns. Without potentially troublesome extras such as octave coupling, folding mechanism, register separation and drones. The sound, feel and appearance convey lightness and joy. Well suited for beginners.
The construction is essentially the same as the Bhava Lite Standard Edition, but the materials and workmanship are of a slightly simpler quality level.

Aarohi harmoniums are manufactured in northern India by suppliers of the Bhava brand. Detailed information about Bhava.
In India, our harmoniums are tuned to international concert pitch of a = 440 hertz. In Europe, however, they usually sound slightly higher at a = 441 to 442 Hertz due to the colder climate. The difference is small and not necessarily noticeable even to trained ears.
On request we can tune exactly to 440 hertz for 28 € additional charge.
Tuning to 432 hertz is also possible by arrangement for an additional charge.
NOTE:
Air temperature and blowing pressure influence the vibration frequency of harmonium reeds. At higher temperature and higher pressure, it decreases; at lower temperature, it increases. In our workshop in Berlin we tune at room temperature around 20 degrees Celsius.
