The result is meditative and dreamlike, well suited to quiet, focused moments.

Care tips
- Place the monochord in your lap, on a cushion or on a soft surface so its body can vibrate freely.
- Play with slow, repeating motions — the strings will build their own ringing overtones.
- Check the tuning regularly with the included tuning key and tuner.
- Keep in a room with stable temperature and normal humidity.
