How to play - introducton
If you use your finger and move it in an evenly, steady and calm rhythm across the strings you will create a sound
space that allows your client to unwind and move into a relaxed state. By using both hands you can create a ‘flying’
sound carpet` by making sure one hand alternates with the other while you move over the strings from one side to
the other creating a continuous sound.

Less is more!
Invite variations.
Intuitively you will change the direction you are play-
ing or the position on the string. Strum all 40 strings
by moving your hands on an imaginary line across
the string or play just a couple of strings.
Be attentive. Follow the movement of your hands
and listen to the sound you are creating while you
are sitting or standing behind the chair.

is effective in a play time of 5-15 minutes, depending
on the needs of the client.
It is easy to play
monchair
with the tambura tuning. If you string the strings evenly with your fingers you will crea-
te overtones which have rich harmonics. The tunes D d d A repeat 10 times in the 40 strings creating a rich sound
environment. It embraces and holds you in a relaxing environment without any prior training.
monchair
with tam-
bura tunings is great for places where the chair is exposed to new people all the time, who want to play and enjoy
the Singing Chair with each other. Great to use in settings like offices, hotels, wellness and care facilities.
monchair
with the monochord tuning allows you to create a more nuanced play. The strings are tuned to D and
the higher octave d. This allows the player more creative possibilities to excite the many finer and subtle overtones.
You can vary the pitches and focus on the deeper tones in D which have more vibration or string d to create more
overtones.
Our hands-on workshops will give you the opportunity to play,
experience, and learn more about the feeltone monochords and our
different sound furnitures
from the smaller Monolini / Monlina Therapy monochords , the larger
concert and mediation monochords and the Soundwave and Mono-
chord table.
While these instruments are completely intuitive and require no prior
musical knowledge or ability to play, specifi c techniques are offered
in this training that will deeply improve your ability to play the inst-
ruments with beauty, ease, and a variety of colors, as well as to evoke
the elements of nature and to hold a deeply meditative space when
playing for others.
