Quadruple (4) Reed Harmonium

Four reed banks per key is as large as harmonium sound gets, and the closest the instrument comes to an organ.

These are concert and recording instruments. Every extra bank means more reeds, more air, more weight and more cost, and the makers who build them well are the ones whose reed work justifies the format. If you have played a good four-reed harmonium you already know why people carry them.

Too much for home? Not too loud, because the stops let you play it as a double or triple. But it is heavier and dearer than most home players need. Buy it for where your playing is going, not where it is.

Weight. Top of the harmonium range, and the weight is on every product page. Our prices include shipping to the USA, so it is already accounted for in what you see.

Maintenance. More reeds means more tuning points, so a periodic professional tuning matters more than on a two-reed box. Day to day care is identical: keep it away from humidity swings and direct sun.

Most people arriving here should also look honestly at Triple Reed, which is the right instrument for the large majority of performers, and at the buying guide.
