The foam mat set for the Monolina XL monochord is a three-piece protection kit that shields every sensitive part of the instrument during transport and storage. If you regularly take your monochord on the road, this accessory protects the strings, the bridge pins and the wood surface from scratches and pressure marks.
Specifications
- Pack: 3 foam mats, cut to size
- Compatibility: Monolina XL monochord and Monolina bag
- Function: protective layer between stand, instrument and strings
- Origin: Germany, manufacturer: Feeltone – Ingo Böhme
Sound and character
The mats themselves do not influence the sound, but they significantly extend the life and tonal stability of the instrument. The fine-density foam absorbs vibration during transport, so the bridge pins stay in place and the tuning remains more stable after the journey.
How to use
Each of the three sizes has its own role. One mat fits between the stand (RS-28M or RS-28EX) and the monochord. The second slides under the strings, with cut-outs for the bridge pins. The third lies above the strings, between the tuning pegs, so every part is protected inside the Monolina bag.
Why this product
If you frequently travel with your instrument – to workshops, therapy sessions or concerts – this set is the best companion to the Monolina bag. It is reassuring to leave home knowing the strings will not suffer a sudden bump or scratch, and your tuning will hold.
Care tips
- Always use all three mats together for complete protection.
- Store in a dry place – moisture can deform the foam.
- Dust occasionally with a soft brush or slightly damp cloth.
- Replace the mats when the foam becomes noticeably compressed.
