Sound and character
Monolini C is an overtone-rich, major-character, bright and serene tuning in a compact size. If you hold opening, energising sessions or like an uplifting, shimmering colour, this tuning is built for you. The overtone series above the C fundamental is immediately recognisable to many ears, so it works well with children, families and beginning meditators too.
How to use
The Travel Set includes the Monolini C monochord, round stand and extension, wide bag, felt and santoori beater, protective mats, tuning key, tuner, spare strings, monochord scarf and a 30-minute online Zoom introduction. Thanks to the compact format, the instrument is easy to store at home and easy to carry to a workshop or private session.
- Place the stand on a flat surface and put the instrument on top.
- Start the strings with continuous, cheerful motions.
- The 30-minute online introduction helps you with the first tuning and technique.

Care tips
