With this Monochord there are two playing positions: vertical or lying down with the use of the propeller.
If you strum the strings close to the bridge they are very overtone rich and in the middle they sound more equal, comparable to a gong. The 26 strings create a song picture in our mind which can help us to relax. In the beginning there only seems to be one tone, but with a relaxed mind you are able to listen to all the variety of tones and overtones which weave a wistful and invisible melody. This can open our awareness and make us curious to discover the sounds in nature which are also ever-changing. If you sit in front of the upright self-standing instrument you can play it on both sides with both hands simulataneously. The sound volume is created between the upper body of the player and the instrument and can be rhythmic, meditative and gong-like.
Monochord, small, 26 strings, strung on both sides, with fine tuners.
2 x 13 strings (plain/wound)
