Sound and character
The G-tuned Rubin Monolina blends the universal, glass-clear G fundamental with the full, intense resonance of padouk. The sound is crystalline yet full: easily received, but offering a deeper emotional space than the Jasmin variant. The contrast of red and white wood also visually amplifies this duality — light yet powerful.
How to use
- Sound baths and sound massage, group and individual relaxation
- Meditation, yoga and breathwork accompaniment
- Opening and closing workshops or sound baths
- Home rituals, evening winding-down
You receive a practical Feeltone carry bag, padouk 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 want both the universality of the G tuning and the intensity of the Rubin finish, this variant is ideal. A versatile yet distinctly characterful instrument — in Feeltone's Premium quality.
Care tips
- Tune before playing
- Leave longer silences between strokes so the overtones can unfold
- Place the bridges carefully — the brass pins are sharp
- Store in the carry bag, in a dry, cool place
- The padouk colour may darken over time — this is a natural process
- Do not over-tighten the strings: if a string snaps, the loose end can cause injury
