The Octave Sound Massage Table in ash wood is one of the most refined sound furniture pieces from the Feeltone workshop. Beneath the table top a 60-string monochord vibrates, carrying the guest into deep relaxation within minutes. The construction has been continuously refined since 2015, drawing on the daily experience of instructor Martina Gläser-Böhme.

Sound and character
The D fundamental of the 60-string monochord creates a particularly calming, harmonious presence with its full depth. The soundboard is curved in two directions, as is customary in fine string instruments – this enriches the fullness and extends the sustain. Even a simple stroke produces a spherical, overtone-rich sound.
How to use
Lay the guest onto the gently curved surface. Body weight does not affect the tuning, because the monochord section is decoupled from the frame. Stroke the strings slowly and rhythmically along both sides. By loosening four screws, the table top can be flipped along its axis, making tuning comfortable.
