Sound and character
The string ensemble built on the C sharp fundamental is enriched by the two extra-deep G sharp fifth strings, which give the sound carpet a particularly full vibration. The chair creates a pleasantly vibrating presence in which time itself seems to slow.
How to use
Sit comfortably in the ergonomic seat and adjust the height-adjustable neck rest. The player strokes the strings behind the backrest with slow, flowing motions. Suited to communal spaces, office team-building, shared music-making at home and wellness settings.
