Tirupati Kirtan Premium Mini

The Tirupati Kirtan Premium Mini is a smaller and therefore especially travel-suitable version of the Kirtan Premium model. The simple construction makes it inexpensive and robust, high-quality double reeds provide a full, warm sound and for the small format it has an amazingly good sustain. A good choice for beginners as well as for ambitious kirtan singers.

The outer bellows of the Kirtan Premium Mini is fixed and does not have to be opened and secured with hooks. This makes the entire folding mechanism much less sensitive and easier to use. When folded, the entire instrument is protected in an integrated sturdy wooden case.

Equipment:

• 32 simple bar keys
• range of two and a half octaves from f to c
• two reeds per tone in middle and low registers
• two stop slides for separate or joint playing of middle and low registers
• two drone slides for continuous notes C, G
• laterally opening bellows with multiple folds
• removable top plate with sliding opening (Jali)
• folding mechanism for retracting the instrument into the built-in case
• padded carrying case included
• case and case made of solid pine wood

Pine wood is mainly used for harmoniums in the Delhi area and is much softer than teak, which is more common in Mumbai and Kolkata. Therefore, many pine harmoniums get small dents or other blemishes during production and transport to Europe - these are due to the material and are not to be considered a defect.
