Aruna Musicals
Founded in 1933 by Sri Harmonium Arunachalappa, a great harmonium vidhwan, Aruna Musical was then called ‘CALCUTTA HARMONIUM’. The shop was situated at Balepet, Bangalore and was known for manufacturing and repairing harmoniums. However in 1944, his son Violin A Veerabhadriah re-established the firm in the name and style of Aruna Musical. A Veerabhadriah was a great violin player and he started importing and exporting many musical instruments and spares. Aruna Musicals were the pioneers of Violin imports from Germany, France etc. For the first in the Indian history they imported Roslan wires from Germany and distributed all over India. The firm was also famous for its repairing and restoring works of erstwhile professional instruments like Veena, Violin, Guitar, Mridanga, Tabla, and Harmonium etc.
