Sound and character
The D-tuned Monolina is the deepest in the series: full bass, vibrating, with body-touching resonance. The padouk wood of the Rubin finish lends an even richer, more intense resonance to this deep fundamental. The tones almost roll in waves: the listener can release tension more easily and sink into deeper breathing. The contrast between red padouk and white maple also visually previews this meeting of two forces — profound stillness and vibrant aliveness.
How to use
- Deep sound therapy treatments, emotional processing work
- Shamanic-ritual practices and presence meditations
- Quiet evening rituals, pre-sleep regeneration
- Individual sound work guided by an experienced therapist
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 looking for the deepest Monolina sound in the Feeltone range and are drawn to the intense vibrations of the red wood, the Rubin D-tuned variant is ideal. It comes to you handcrafted in the Premium category.
Care tips
- Give the deep D tuning time — the overtones unfold slowly
- Tune before each use
- Sit or stand stably while playing so you can feel the bass vibrations physically
- Mind the brass pins on the bridges when placing them
- Store in the carry bag, in a dry place protected from direct sunlight
