Sansulas Tuned to Match Every feeltone Monochord
Did you know there's now a Sansula tuning for each of the 5 feeltone Monochord tunings? That's right: C — A — G — F — D!
The Monochord is a drone instrument with multiple strings tuned to the same note, stretched across a wood resonating body. Strumming the strings creates a beautiful cascade of overtones and it's super easy to play. We're the exclusive US distributors for feeltone Monochords (made in Germany), including the Monolina — which has become a standard instrument of sound baths and sound meditation.
The Sansula is a Kalimba mounted on a drum head, which amplifies the sound and allows players to create a wah-wah effect. Hokema Kalimbas are made in Germany and produce gorgeous ethereal sounds beloved in the sound wellness community.
Now you can have a Sansula custom-tuned to match your Monochord. Choose from three models:
Sansula Basic
Delicate sound, paper drum head
Sansula Renaissance
Durable synthetic drum head
Sansula Deluxe
Goat skin head — each one is unique
Even Better: Major or Minor Scale Options
We can have your Sansula custom-tuned to either a Major or Minor scale to match your favorite bridge melody note configuration if you have a 34-string Monolina. If you have a 21-string Monolini, you can also choose Major or Minor — both will work beautifully with it.
