A harmonium is a free-standing keyboard instrument similar to a reed organ. Sound is produced by air being blown through sets of free reeds, resulting in a sound similar to that of an accordion. The air is usually supplied by bellows operated by the foot, hand, or knees.

Harmonium offers a distinct musical experience from other keyboard or organ instruments. Its appeal has influenced many cultures, and it remains a common instrument in most Indian forms of music.

Harmoniums are played in Western cultures, especially in the United States and Europe. When missionaries brought the instrument to India in the mid 1800s, it instantly became popular. Since then, it has influenced many varieties of music in the country.

Different types of harmoniums are categorized by the sets of reeds they have. Those used in most classical music have only one set while those used for Islamic religious music usually have three sets. Two- and four-set harmoniums also exist.
