Hello Dear, Basic difference between harmonium and piano is in the technology of sound production and the keys each instrument have. Harmonium produces sound by air pressure which is generated by periodic motion of bellows where piano produces sound by hitting the cords with hammer.
another major difference is in the keyboard. The Standard Indian Harmonium has 36 keys with 3 octaves which is know as "mandra" "madhya" and "taar" saptak where piano has total 88 keys with 7 octaves.
I hope this may clear your understanding more about difference between Indian harmonium and a piano

∙ 9y agoThe piano is the only instrument where you can change how loud the notes are by pressing the keys with different amounts of pressure.
The pipe organ is the only one that makes sound by blowing wind through pipes. The piano and harpsichord make sound by plucking strings.
The keys that are white on a piano are black on a harpsichord, and a piano's black keys are white on a harpsichord. Some organs have the same key colors as a harpsichord, while others have the key colors of a piano.
