Feeltone Monochords
The Feeltone Monochords are known to be the best in the world for their resonance, versatility and sound that sets these monochords above the rest.
Monochords are designed to be easy to play as the main section of the instrument is all the same note, bringing a rich experience of sonic harmony.
What's super cool about Feeltone Monochords is that they have two additional sections of strings on the top and bottom which offer even more richness of experience of the sound.
The top section of 5 strings are mounted on small moveable raised bridges which allow you to tune the strings to a simple complementary scale for creating melodies. These strings can be played in 'Koto' style which allows you to quickly bend the notes for a very unique sound.
The bottom section of 5 bass strings are tuned to the 5th of the main middle section of strings, which adds depth to the harmonizing effect of the instrument and sounds very soothing when combined with the middle section.
Another notable feature which is unique in the world of monochords, the Feeltone Monochord body is curved on the bottom so it can be placed directly on the body to resonate deeply for vibration therapy. The instrument body is made of highly resonant wood which is perfect to transmit the vibrations easily. You can really feel it!
