Sound and character
This bridge unlocks the melodic range of the Large Concert Monochord (MO-46GK). Placed under a string, it splits the sounding length exactly where you decide — one side of the instrument can keep a meditative drone carpet while the other side voices an independent, melodic pitch. On a 46-string instrument this opens up a particularly rich way of playing.
How to use
The bridge can be moved freely, so an experienced player can tune the chosen melody string to any pitch. Feeltone publishes a template with recommended bridge positions and matching notes, but the template is not shipped with single bridges — it comes only with the full set. Slide the bridge under the strings and adjust it in small movements until you reach the desired point.
Why this product
If you are the owner of the MO-46GK Large Concert Monochord and need a spare or an additional element, this piece is built specifically for your instrument. It is an ideal choice for therapists and sound artists who explore new compositional ideas, or who simply want a backup bridge in the instrument cabinet.
Care tips
- When tuning, move the bridge in small steps and check the pitch after every move.
- Never overstretch the strings — a broken end can snap back and cause injury.
- The brass pins are sharp and pointed; insert the bridge carefully to avoid pinching your fingers.
- Keep a personal note of your favourite bridge positions so you can return to familiar tunings quickly.
