Sarangg Mini Pro
Low weight and small dimensions make the Sarangg Mini Pro a perfect accompaniment for mantras and kirtans on the road and at home - without cumbersome folding mechanism. It is sturdy and easy to use and has a rich and round sound.
The Sarangg Mini Pro offers particularly fine quality. The simple Delhi style construction makes it significantly cheaper than Paloma and Pakrashi harmoniums of the same size. The 27 keys from f to g range over 2 1/4 octaves and thus cover the typical range of common mantras and kirtans. High-quality double reeds ensure good response and a rich, full sound. The transparent polish reveals the beauty of the wood grain. Precise workmanship ensures good fluency of the keyboard and long-term tightness of the air chambers. However, all small size harmoniums have less air volume than normal sized harmoniums. Therefore, they need more active bellows movement when playing chords.

Pine wood is the first choice for harmoniums around Delhi and in North Western India. It is much softer than teak wood, which is more common in Mumbai and Calcutta. Therefore pinewood harmoniums often get little dents or scratches during manufacturing, storage or transit to Europe. Such marks are a natural property of the wood and can not be seen as flaws or defects.
Sarangg is the brand of harmonium maker Esrajya International LLP in Delhi, who specialises in high quality harmoniums in Delhi style. The grandfather of Mayank Kumar, the current boss, founded the company in 1966, after having trained for 10 years with the renowned harmonium maker Ratiram. For decades Esrajya International has worked exclusively as a supplier for various dealers. Since 2020 Esrajya International is offering harmoniums under its own brand name Sarangg through India Instruments. Sarangg harmoniums are marked by a particularly fine quality of materials and workmanship and thus stand out from similarly constructed models of other manufacturers.
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.
Measure: height 48 cm, width 32 cm, depth 25 cm, weight: 5 kg (6 kg incl. bag).
Each instrument is individually hand-crafted and might differ from our description.
