Sound and character
The G-tuned Monolina is the universal member of the family. Its sound is crystal-clear, both floating and well-defined. The G fundamental speaks clearly while preserving plenty of bass depth, which makes it the most versatile choice. It blends easily with singing bowls, wind chimes or the human voice.
How to use
The G Monolina is ideal if you work in varied settings with varied groups. In group meditations its clear sound guides attention well, while in individual sound massage it offers a pleasant balance between vibration and clarity. The melodic section adds delicate melodic touches above the drone.
Why this product
If you are new to monochords or simply want a single, universally applicable instrument, the G tuning is an excellent starting point. It pairs comfortably with most sound practices and other instruments.
Care tips
- Try accompanying your playing with the voice – the G fundamental supports intuitive vocal practice especially well.
- Don't pluck the overtone strings too strongly; stroke them gently to let the fine drone unfold.
- Check the tuning regularly, especially after travel or temperature changes.
