Harmonium (Mid-East) - 39 Keys 8 pull knobs - nice condition

Description

Beautiful 39 Key Mid-East Harmonium
This Harmonium was originally purchased for 9.99 at an obscure instrument store in Seattle, WA for a studio recording project (maybe 18 years ago), but it has had very little use since then. For the most part, it's been a display piece, along side many other keyboards and synthesizers and has only been used for recording whenever inspiration called for it - I'd say maybe 4 or 5 times. Each time it's been played, including testing it before this listing, it's been in full working order.
My asking price around 40% less than what I paid for it, so I think it's pretty fair. You can let me know if you feel otherwise (I'm open to hear your opinion).
I don't know too many specifics about this Harmonium since it didn't really come with much information. However, it did come with a couple of pages of background/history about harmoniums and a little info detailing the parts of a harmonium and how to care for it. The included 2 sheets of general information had the brand name (Mid-East) printed on them, so I'm assuming this is the brand/seller of the instrument. I'll include these documents with the Harmonium.
From my experience with this instrument, it sounds very much like a smooth accordion. You play it with two hands by pumping the bellow with one hand and playing the keys with the other. There are 8 knobs that have various functions. Some of them emit an accompaniment tone/drone, some of them allow you to play individual notes as octaves, some of them dampen notes, and some of them will allow you to play individual keys with vibrato. You just have to experiment with each to discover what their functions are and what type of sound combinations you can create when pulling/combining multiple knobs. It's a super interesting and beautiful instrument!
I did a bit of research online regarding which exact make and model this was and how to purchase one just like it, and the closest I could come up with is (BRHM6S Harmonium Standard), made in India. The picture matches this one pretty closely and the sale price shows 5 new. You can take a look at what I found here:

DISCLAIMER: while this one still looks super nice, there may be some minor cosmetic blemishes, which are not too noticeable and do not affect it's good looks and performance. When I purchased this Harmonium, it was on display and may have had a previous owner, but it was in really good used condition and I've kept it in the same
condition
ever since. It's been known that harmoniums could require a bit of minor adjustments to individual reeds or seals after transport, but it seems fairly easy on
YouTube.
*** I've packaged things very
securely (it'll be shipped in a fairly large sized box formerly used for Yamaha Speakers), and will include lots of bubble wrap and filler. ***
*** I can only ship within the United States ***
Thanks so much for looking :)
