Sound and character
The F-tuned Monolina is the second deepest member of the family. Its full, vibrating bass joins rich overtones to create a gentle yet enveloping sound field. The F fundamental carries warmth: never heavy, but deep enough to move the body's inner resonance. The Jasmin finish, with its lightly grained maple, sounds bright and translucent, as if light filters through the tones.
How to use
- Sound therapy sessions, individual and group relaxation
- Meditation practices and breathwork accompaniment
- Closing yoga classes, opening silent meditations
- Personal home regeneration rituals
You receive a practical Feeltone carry bag, small maple round stands and handles, protective mats, 2 santoori and 2 felt mallets, plus a Skype/ZOOM introduction. The melody section comes with 5 bridges and a pentatonic major/minor template.
Why this product
If you are drawn to the deep, cradling vibrations of an F tuning and want an instrument that also serves the room with a bright, serene appearance, the Jasmin Monolina is an excellent choice. It is built in Feeltone's premium category from sustainably sourced maple, by hand.
Care tips
- Always check tuning before playing with the included tuner and tuning key
- Place the round stands on the protective mats before plucking the strings
- Insert the bridges under the strings carefully to avoid pinching fingers
- Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight, inside the bag
- Dust gently from time to time with a soft cloth
