Sound and character
The A-tuned Rubin Monolina is deep, with a minor character and rich overtones. The denser padouk reveals the layers of overtones even more: the listener almost physically feels the tones weaving together. An inward-calling instrument that opens emotional depths — the visual red intensity and the inward minor character form a striking, complementary pair.
How to use
- Deep sound therapy sessions, emotional processing
- Shamanic-ritual practices and inward-turning meditations
- Individual sound work where there is time to receive long-fading overtones
- Quiet evening rituals, pre-sleep regeneration
You receive a practical Feeltone carry bag, padouk round stands and handles, protective mats, 2 santoori and 2 felt mallets, plus an online introduction. 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 the minor character and the intense red vibrations of the Rubin finish, this variant is ideal. Built in Feeltone Premium quality, by hand.
Care tips
- Play slowly — the overtones fade for a long time
- Tune before each use
- Prepare the space: silence, few distractions and a comfortable seat or place to lie down
- Place the bridges carefully
- Store in the carry bag, in a dry place protected from direct sunlight
