Description

The No. 8 is the model most people mean when they say they want a Bina. Two of Bina's own reeds give it that familiar bright, forward tone that cuts through a room without being harsh, and the double-fold bellows keep pressure steady enough that long phrases do not sag. A straightforward, hard-wearing instrument at a sensible price.

Suits: A first serious harmonium, or a reliable second instrument for teaching.

Shipping & payment

Our largest instruments, full-size tanpuras and surbahars, travel as dedicated freight rather than at a standard rate, so their shipping is quoted individually.

Payment is by card link for orders up to $700, or bank transfer for any amount. Import duties, where your country charges them, are payable on delivery and are not included in the price.

Classic Kirtan harmonium

What I love about the Bina is it’s deep rich tone and wonderful harmonics. This is the third Harmonium I now own and I am thrilled with the sound it produces. Perfectly tuned. I love the fact it is hand made and so unique. This model has a coupler and is not collapsible which makes it feel very sturdy. Even so it is light and with the included carry bag easy to transport. Great service from the folks at Tabla Sitar, my first stop for instruments from India.
