Monolina - Ebony & Ivory

Premium Monochord "Ebony and Ivory" - classy and high quality

The Premium Monochord Ebony and Ivory is a particularly classy instrument, inspired by "Ebony and Ivory", the hit song by Paul McCartney. Ebony and Ivory have long been the materials used for the keys on upright and grand pianos. They also represent the polarized world, the balance of male and female forces as symbolized in the Ying and Yang. Of course we do not use the protected ivory and the rare ebony. The body of this particularly valuable Monolina is made out of wenge and maple. The instrument is a bit heavier due to the wood and therefore even more intense in the sound. The frame, single bridges and the u-stands are made out of wenge. Handles, upper soundboard, as well as lower soundboard, are made out of maple.
