Harmonium
A harmonium is a small, keyboard musical instrument that produces sound by forcing air through reeds, similar to an organ. It has a set of keys like a piano, which the player presses to create notes. Air is supplied by pumping a foot-operated bellows or using hand-operated levers. Harmoniums are commonly used in Indian classical music and devotional singing but can also be found in various music genres worldwide. They are valued for their portability and unique, warm sound, making them popular for both solo performances and accompaniment.
