Monochord

The sound bed sister, shorter but still very interesting with rich harmonics.

Monochord means one chord, one bloc of strings for fundamental and a second for the Fifth.

This instrument is perfect for sound journey and for singing.

I use only high quality wood for best sound and get rich harmonics 

Vibration is creating by strings and amplified by the top.

This Vibration is transferred on the back by a system inside the instrument in the way to feel a subtil massage on your lap. 

Kotamo

 

It's a Monochord with two sides, one side with the Monochord, second side is composed by strings with bridges like a Koto (Japanese instrument), one the second side you'll find others strings for the Tanpura ( Indian instrument).
