Up for sale is an excellent full size, double reed, PAUL & CO suitcase harmonium. I estimate that the instrument was made in the 1980s. It has been tuned and adjusted to perfection. PRICE is $535
I am a professional harmonium technician, player and teacher - one of the few in the US - and I have decades of experience playing, tuning and repairing harmoniums. This instrument is top quality and will last another 30+ years with proper care.
Although the instrument is about 50 years old, it's in top condition. You'll find vintage ones on eBay selling between $1,000 and $4,000, and new ones in India for $1,000-$1,200 US. It has typical age marks and imperfections but those give it character and beauty. PAUL & CO makes some of the finest professional harmoniums throughout India.
