Back in the late 80's after I got out of the military I lived in the New Orleans ISKCON temple and I learned how to play Vaishnava songs on a harmonium..
I live in N Spain and bought a Kolkata harmonium in 2017 in Amritapuri from Amma's harmonium player. He sold us what I feel is a good one for around 500 bucks. The other day I was asked for advice on buying from someone in Europe so I've sent these links.
You prolly dont give a shit but if you're bored like me atm then you can stream all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend for the last few months xD
Great interview. Being a world traveler and in the construction field, I have seen how they abuse workers in other countries. I worked in a shipyard in Singapore and saw how they took people from Bangladesh and other countries and basically turned them into indentured servants. We had assistants who worked with us and I felt so bad for the way he was being treated that I along with a few other guys from our company gave him a cash bonus because he was awesome. The way the make these workers sign a contract to work and live in the company owned living areas is shameful. And unfortunately this is just one example of the bad treatment of working people that I've seen. Sad to say but it's ridiculous that this is still going on in this day and age. It's basically modern day slavery.
I really didn’t know much about Nic and his store before filming and I was really blown away by his story and the level of success Old Delhi has achieved. Thanks for watching!
I'm going to take a peak at his site..From what I see those harmoniums are works of art. The ones I played on were old and a little beat up, and probably hand- me- downs from devotees..But they sounded great.
Sweet! If you do purchase from Old Delhi Music please let them know you watched my video. I do NOT get anything back in return, but I still think it’s helpful if they know my videos were helpful in deciding where to purchase.
Sir,,,,are you implying that Indians are treated badly by Indians,not pay taxes etc? Most American companies go to India because they pay Indians cheaper. And you are paying more? I feel offended by your tone. You are making money off us Indians, and Indian instruments and how do you do that? Put down Indians? That is racist.This sounds like a paid for promotion and the interviewer is kissing your ar*e. "SHADY WATERS?" u call us Indians? Shame on you.

Just purchased a 432hz harmonium from Old Delhi Music! Can’t wait!
What do you think of it? Can you say a bit about the hz choice?

We brought it back ourselves as hand luggage.
Great interview. Now I want one. Well, I've wanted one for a while, but I love the idea that Old Delhi takes care of their employees.

@Oakley Curtis Definitely, I have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :D

Thanks for this! This is exactly what I was wanting to watch this evening.
Now I know where to buy a quality harmonium! 😀
Glad it was helpful!

You both seem like lovely humans! Great discussion, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching! 😀
Loved this Jeff!
Thanks! Hopefully you and I can get another video interview recorded soon. I'd love to pick you brain more about Indian Classical Music.
@@JeffStarr Definitely! Whenever you're free. Let's make it happen!
"We spend more to make instruments than what we were spending buying them from third parties." Amazing.
Great video and very interesting!!

In the mid 90s I used to play harmonium with guys doing country and folk. Harmonium works really well with many types of music apart from kirtan/bajan
Yeah, I think a lot of people only associate them with Indian music but in reality they are very versatile.
Very versatile!! They can sound much like accordions in zydeco- both are reed instruments
Great video, I'll definitely be getting a Sitar from these guys!

@@JeffStarr Absolutely! Since Nic recommended calling, I left them a voicemail so that they can help me decide which one to purchase 😎
Where is shop in Delhi. Please contact number now
