Sound and character
The A-tuned Monolina is overtone-rich with a minor character. Inward-leaning, slightly melancholic but never heavy, it opens a space that accompanies quiet, inward-focused practice. The fine vibrations of the overtones arrive in gentle waves. The Jasmin finish, with its bright, soft maple grain, visually balances the introspective tonality.
How to use
- Deep relaxation sessions, unhurried sound baths
- Meditation and inward-focused practices
- Individual sound massage and deep sound work
- Quiet evening rituals and winding down before sleep
You receive a practical Feeltone carry bag, maple round stands and handles, protective mats, plus 2 santoori and 2 felt mallets. The melody section can be set with 5 bridges and a pentatonic major/minor template.
Why this product
If you are drawn to the deep, inward quality of a minor character and wish to bring a rich overtone world into your work, the A-tuned Jasmin Monolina is an excellent choice. The bright maple creates a serene balance to the introverted tonal character.
Care tips
- Tune before playing with the included tuner
- Play slowly with long pauses so the overtones can unfold
- Mind the brass pins on the bridges when placing them
- Store in a dry place inside the bag, away from direct sunlight
- Check string tension occasionally
- Do not over-tighten the strings: if a string snaps, the loose end can cause injury
