Harmonium lends itself to Ukrainian music amazingly well!

Dear Tristan,
The Harmonium isn't traditionally used Indian Classical music:
In Indian music, only the Swaras (notes) Pa and Sa are set on exact
points. The other Sawaras vary within ranges called Swarakshetras. The
maximal and minimal points are called Shrutis, and there are 22 of
them. When using different Ragas, different Shrutis are used for each
Swara. The Harmonium is equal-tempered, and as so, cannot operate with
in that natural environment of Indian Classical music.
Also, historically, the Harmonium became popular in India during the
mid-late 19 century, due to portability and ease of play.
