Monolina - Ruby

Premium Monolina Monochord "Rubin" is red, invigorating, fiery

Our Premium Monochord is not only visiually unique; its clear, warm and full sound also has a very relaxing effect on body and mind. With its fine woods, the Premium Monochord is a real eye-catcher among monochords.

The Premium Monolina Monochord Rubin is a particularly noble and intense instrument. It impresses with its color, which draws attention to itself. The contrast with the maple creates a balance similar to yin and yang. The frame, single bridges and u-stand are made of flaming red padouk. The soundboard and handles are made of fine, calm and velvety maple, on which the red single bridges stand out visually. The contrast between the two woods is particularly stimulating. The instrument is slightly heavier due to the wood and therefore has an even more intense sound.

Monochord sound examples - Which tuning suits you?

Which tuning or fundamental tone of the monochord suits you best is very personal. Take your time to feel and listen to which tone resonates with you the most or which tone challenges you to be discovered. Your monochord can always be tuned a semitone higher or lower around the fundamental tone. In our Elemental Soundscapes sound instrument sets, we have assigned elements and qualities to the fundamental tones. You may also find some orientation there.
