| Dont’s 1: Do not leave the instrument in the trunk of your car or outside. Do not ever leave the instrument in sunlight. 2: Don’t allow children to hit the keys or over-pump the bellows 3: Don’t allow anyone to tamper with the springs, action regulating screws, or reeds. 4: Don’t turn the damper or drone knobs, as this will cause air leakage. | Do’s 1: Keep the instrument in a cool (never below freezing) and dry location. Use a cover or box for storage. 2. Use the harmonium regularly, move all stops and play all keys. This will stop the mechanism from jamming and reduce reed corrosion. 3: Before you start to play, pump the external bellows to fill the internal bellows until some pressure builds up. |
