5 things to know about Harmonium | Interviewing Mike Cohen from Kirtan Leader
In this video I interview @MikeCohenKirtan professional harmonium player & teacher (and saxophonist) to discuss everything you might need to know before deciding to learn or purchase a harmonium.
The harmoniums in this video are the Bhava Studio Concert Edition (teak) and the Bhava Mini Standard Edition (pine). Learn more at: https://bhavaharmonium.com
These instruments were supplied to me by https://olddelhimusic.com for the purpose of creating videos about harmoniums. Old Delhi Music has not paid me and I will need to return these instruments. I have full editorial control and can say whatever I want, positive or negative.
