Sound and character
Monolini D is the smaller sibling: a narrower body, fewer strings, but the same full, deep Feeltone character. The D tuning here is also the deepest choice in the range — full bass, long vibration, a sound focused on body sensation and massage. If you are looking for a more compact, easier-to-carry monochord and still want deep vibration, the Monolini D is built for you.
How to use
The Travel Set contains everything needed for mobile use: the Monolini D instrument, 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. With the stand, you can play in a back-friendly posture, even sitting on a meditation cushion.
- You can carry the whole set in the bag with one hand.
- The stand assembles quickly and stows in a small space.
- The 30-minute online introduction shows you how to tune and play the instrument for the first time.
Why this product
If you live in a small flat, regularly visit clients for sessions, or are simply looking for a first monochord that is easy to handle, the Monolini D Travel Set is the easiest to recommend. The 21 strings are enough for a rich sound, while the weight and size of the instrument remain easy to manage.
Care tips
- Always transport the bag with the zip closed so accessories do not slip out.
- Check the tuner battery from time to time so you are not surprised on the road.
- Insert the protective mats above and below the strings before transport.
