A Spaziergang through the feeltone Workshop where Monochords are built in Northern Germany
Behind the Scenes at the feeltone Workshop in Northern Germany
We recently visited the feeltone Headquarters in Pulow, Northern Germany and made a video for our Monochord superfans — a peek behind the scenes where our instruments are handcrafted by artisans.
The handworkers are a bit shy and only agreed to have their hands at work filmed and shared.
The Landscape Around Pulow
The video is interspersed with beautiful scenes of the landscape near and around Pulow — the small neighborhood where feeltone's workshop is located. This region is called Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, in the north of Germany, very close to the Baltic Sea. The neighboring landscape varies between open fields, breezy forests, lakes, and streams.
Due to its northern location — not far from Denmark and Sweden — the quality of light is very special and the days are very long in summer. Dusk occurs as late as 10:30pm this time of year!
Not far away you'll also find the ocean, with beaches dotted by the iconic Strandkorb — German beach baskets you can sit in.
Watch With Headphones
We invite you to watch this video with headphones and join us on this Spaziergang — a leisurely walk for relaxation. The video features a soundtrack of feeltone instruments supporting the meditative stroll. Take 7 minutes to sit back and let the scenes roll by.
The nature of this region inspires the instruments you hold in your hands. Every single feeltone Monochord is made with love and handcrafted with care.
I have only had my Monolina C for about 10 days, and already I have fallen in love with it. The craftsmanship is beautiful. I purchased the legs and travel bag as well, and yesterday traveled with it to visit a friend who is recovering from surgery. I tried out the placement of the monolina on her body, and she said it felt amazing and reduced her level of discomfort tremendously! I also really appreciate the excellent customer service from Gabriele, who helped me with some questions about purchasing, and then with some initial tuning questions. I was also able to attend one of the Monochord Monday Meet-Ups, which I found very inspiring. I highly recommend both this company and the high quality instruments!
I run this kalimba through effects pedals and get some amazing soundscapes with it. Very versatile and beautiful. Highly recommended. I appreciate that we play well together carries these wonderful instruments. Highly recommended.
A beautiful Kalimba. I run this through effects pedals and you can do some amazing musical soundscapes with it. I would certainly buy again. I appreciate weplaywelltogether carrying and shipping this item. Highly recommended.
A delicate and elegant musical instrument. I like that it is tuned to key of C. It is not for leaving outside on the patio, but rather kept with other musical instruments. I love the sound of it with my kalimba.
