Sound and character
The A tuning offers an overtone-rich, minor-leaning sound. The overtone carpet is denser and more emotionally saturated than the higher tunings, yet it is not sad — rather deepening, settling.
How to use
- Contemplative practice and stillness
- Deep, unhurried sound baths and sound massage
- Yin yoga and silence practice
- Farewell and mourning rituals
- Personal inner journeys
Why this product
The A tuning is recommended for those who want emotionally deep sound work and enjoy a minor-key sound. An ideal complement for sound bath facilitators and sound massage practitioners alongside a brighter-tuned Monolini.
Care tips
- Play at a slow, contemplative tempo, leaving silences between the notes.
- Place on a cushion or in your lap so the body can vibrate.
- Check the tuning regularly.
- Store at stable temperature and normal humidity.
