Sound and character
This sturdy shelf acts as a vibration carrier under the Feeltone sound bed. When bowls placed on it are struck, the vibration travels through the shelf and crossbar into the entire bed. Cherry wood gives a softer, warmer character than ash – it carries the deeper overtones especially beautifully.
How to use
The wide shelf mounts under the Feeltone sound bed, fixed to the crossbar joining the two legs. It cannot be retrofitted, so please order it with the sound bed. During a session you keep bowls, mallets and accessories within easy reach, while struck bowls bring the whole bed to life.
Why this product
If you appreciate cherry's warm, reddish tone, this shelf not only provides workspace but also deepens the session as an active vibration transmitter. It visually harmonises with Feeltone's cherry-framed instruments, and the characterful cherry tone fills the space with presence.
Care tips
- Use only flat-bottomed, stable bowls so they don't slide during play.
- Clean with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth – never use aggressive cleaners.
- Once a year you can refresh the hard wax oil with a thin coat.
- Protect from direct sunlight and high humidity to preserve the wood.
