BeschreibungLightweight, handy and robust: the Paloma Companion Recon is an ideal companion for mantras and kirtans - both on the go and at home. Despite its compact format, it is a fully-fledged harmonium with a warm, round sound and pleasant playability.
The Paloma Companion Recon is perfect if you are looking for a very mobile harmonium and value consistently high quality. The 27 notes from F to G over 2¼ octaves completely cover the range of all common mantras and kirtans. High-quality double reeds ensure a direct response and a full, powerful sound.
The Paloma-typical silk-matt surfaces in a wood look impress with their natural look and pleasant feel. Precise workmanship ensures a smooth-running keyboard and permanently sealed air chambers. The Recon housing in combination with the beech wood key mechanism is particularly robust and durable - ideal for frequent transportation and regular use.
Due to its compact format, the Paloma Companion Recon has a slightly shorter "breath". A little practice with the bellows is therefore required for a consistently long sound, especially when playing chords.
