Monolina Monochord XL in C tuning

Monolina Monochord XL in C tuning

a longer and deeper variation of the Monolina monochord

We have added a low C to the Monolina series, which sounds lower than our D. The body is a little longer than all other Monolinas, but slightly narrower and higher. This greater volume and the longer scale length make it possible to use these low strings.

This large monolina has 28 strings and, as usual, five riders with template. It is strung with 23 C overtone strings and 5 C bass strings. We developed it at the request of many customers. The quint instrument for the large Monolina C is the Monolina G, which is thus given a new weight in playing circles. There it is used for tonal rounding in the bass range and for low accompaniment.

All feeltone round stands can be used. A crossbar adapted to the length is required for the high stand versions. A matching bag is available for the Monolina XL. The Monolina XL-C is also an excellent match for our Elemental Soundscapes Terra with the C/F tuning. It adds the depth that is important for earth tuning.

Areas of application for monochords

A monochord is a useful addition to any sound meditation or sound massage. This stringed instrument harmonizes with other natural sound instruments such as singing bowls, wind chimes, wooden slit drums or hang drums. The monochord is widely used in sound therapy as it can be used as a body monochord and the long-lasting vibrations are perceived as very calming. Whether you want to immerse yourself in meditation, accompany your voice in intuitive singing or offer sound healing in various areas. A feeltone monochord will be your high-quality sounding companion.
