Description

These monochords have TWO SPECIAL FEATURES:

  1. Every string has a tuning bead or pearl that can be moved along the string on the wide end-bridge provided, for fine-tuning without need of the tuning key, the same system that is used on the Indian Tampura.
  2. The Feeltone® Monochords can be played in the upright or vertical position, by screwing the legs into lateral holes provided, in addition to the more common horizontal position.
