Who are the most reliable importers of Indian instruments in the USA?

I'm looking to pick up a low-end portable harmonium without dealing with the hazards of shipping from India.

T.I.A.

You're in California right? Ashwin Batish in Santa Cruz might be able to help. He's a cool dude.

No, I'm in Florida, but thanks for the heads-up, I'll look them up. Does he run under his own name or have a shop?

Nevermind, got it: http://batish.com/catalog/inst/Harmonium/

These are what I'm after, in terms of looks and price range; http://www.pakrashi-harmonium.com/harmonium.html

I like the little 2 octave compact model too.

Ali Akbar College of Music in San Rafael, CA is great also.

Here is their harmonium page:

Excellent!

Thanks all for the links.

Now I have to work on my Korla Pandit right-hand techniques.

Didn't think to ask my friend who plays sitar.
I found a reputable importer of quality Indian instruments in Melbourne FL very close to me;
