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. The monochrome sound opens, brings awareness and integrates.
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. With longer playing, both player and guest may enter meditative states. Suited to clinical, occupational, speech and physical therapy work, office team-building, shared music-making at home and wellness settings.
