Beschreibung

Your own body becomes a resonance chamber

The therapy monochord belongs to the family of body sound instruments. These are instruments that are placed on the body (back or stomach) or on which you lie (sound couch) or sit (sound chair). The sound or vibration is therefore not only picked up by the ears but also transmitted directly through the instrument to the body.

There is a person who plays and a person who is "played". Although you can place a therapy monochord on your stomach and "play" yourself, it is of course more pleasant and more intense when someone else plays for you.

Sound pattern

In contrast to the monochord, there are two strings tuned in fifths in addition to the strings tuned in different octaves to a fundamental tone. The fifth is a very pleasant and harmonizing interval and can be perceived as both invigorating and calming. It rounds off the sound of the monochord and has proved its worth for the direct transmission of sound to the body. Because of the fifth tuning, the instrument is also known as a body tambura (Bernhard Deutz, Klangwerkstatt).

The fact that all the strings vibrate simultaneously produces a pleasantly sparkling sound rich in overtones, reminiscent of a babbling brook or the gentle sound of waves. The effect of the sound is generally described as stimulating, uplifting and at the same time relaxing. The sound can also help to relieve tension and lead to an increased awareness of one's own body. In particular, it can be observed that breathing becomes deeper and calmer after just a few seconds.

Length: 85 cm Width: 30 cm Height: 7 cm

Tuning: C/G Strings: 34

Design: The inwardly curved back of the therapy monochord means that the instrument fits snugly against the body.

The small dimensions of the instrument compared to the sound couch or sound chair make it easy to transport. It can therefore also be used on an outpatient basis.

The Meerklang therapy monochords can be converted into a sound chair or a small sound lounger in just a few simple steps using the lounger or chair extension.
