May 21 2010 – A batch of harmoniums from Delhi has finally arrived, after two and a half months in transit. Thirteen wooden crates each contain three harmoniums, which have magically survived their epic journey fully intact.

Snapped some pictures of the process so you can get a sense for one step in these harmoniums’ journey. They were produced by DMS in Delhi, India, and have since ridden on the back of a flat-bed bicycle rickshaw, an Indian train to the port, an intercontinental ship to an American port, an American train to San Francisco, a big-rig truck to the warehouse, and finally my rental truck to get them home!
