Intuitive Soundscapes Collections: C-MAJOR COLLECTION

INTUITIVE SOUNDSCAPES COLLECTIONS

C-Major Collection

Intuitive Soundscapes Collections are curated sets of artisan instruments, all precisely tuned to play together in the same musical key. The C-Major Collection is originally the highest tuning in the feeltone product line — ethereal, soaring, and luminous. A brand new Monolina XL tuned to Low C is also now available for those seeking a deeper, more grounding version of this key.

Every instrument in this collection is designed for intuitive play: there are no wrong notes. Layer tones freely, build on instruments you already own, and create immersive soundscapes without musical training.

What Are the Intuitive Soundscapes Collections?

Each Intuitive Soundscapes Collection centers on the feeltone Monochord as its sonic foundation, with complementary instruments tuned to match. The result: any combination of instruments in the collection harmonizes effortlessly, freeing you to play intuitively and layer sounds without preparation or sheet music.

This system also lets you expand collections you already own — simply match new instruments to your existing key.

A Note on Tuning: 432 Hz vs. 440 Hz

The video above features instruments tuned to 432 Hz to match the Koshi Chimes. Most instruments in this collection are also available in 440 Hz, and all feeltone Monochords can be easily tuned to your preferred pitch.

The Instruments of the C-Major Collection

feeltone Monolina and Monolini monochords — C-Major Collection centerpiece

Monolina & Monolini by feeltone — The Foundation

At the center of every Intuitive Soundscapes Collection is the feeltone Monochord — the Monolina and Monolini models, handcrafted in Germany. Monochords are dronal stringed instruments whose shimmering harmonics cascade like light on water, creating a meditative, monochrome chord that anchors the entire soundscape.

Tuned to C, the feeltone Monochord is the highest tuning in the standard product line — ethereal and soaring. A new Monolina XL in Low C is also available for those who prefer a deeper, more grounding version of this key. Like a flying carpet, the Monochord carries all other instruments upon it, harmonizing their diverse timbres of wood and metal into a unified whole.

Tinka Tong C-Major wood tongue drum by feeltone — C-Major Collection

Tinka Tong C-Major — Wood Tongue Drum by feeltone

The Tinka Tong C-Major is feeltone's wood tongue drum, tuned to match the C-Major Collection. It produces short, light percussive tones that are earthy, warm, and grounding — a counterpoint to the ethereal sustain of the monochord.

Depending on how it's played, the Tinka Tong can sound whimsical and cheerful or activating and energizing. It's especially effective at the opening or closing of sound journeys to ground and activate the physical body.

Zenko Drums by Metal Sounds — not available anymore 

All tongue drums — wood or metal — can be played with mallets or fingers.

Kigonki Monaural Tongue-Gong — New Addition to All Collections

We're excited to introduce the Kigonki to all Intuitive Soundscapes Collections. Unlike standard tongue drums, the Kigonki features:

  • Eight tuned tongues on the face forming a melodic scale
  • Eight matching resonating tongues on the back that vibrate in response, creating a rich undulating sustain
  • A deep, immersive monaural beat effect — two slightly different frequencies combine physically in the air before reaching your ears, producing a hypnotic tremolo pulse (often called "binaural beats," this is technically a monaural beat)

Hokema Kalimbas and Sansulas — C-Major Intuitive Soundscapes Collection

Kalimbas & Sansulas by Hokema — Melodic Range

Hokema Kalimbas are handcrafted in Germany with American cherry wood and metal tines tuned to C-Major. The C-Major Collection offers a wide kalimba selection:

  • B5 Kalimba — A compact "pocket kalimba" with high-pitched tones that twinkle over the deeper instruments. Goes anywhere.
  • B7 Kalimba — Thicker tines that produce pleasing, warm low tones.
  • B9 Kalimba — A slightly larger, 9-note kalimba with a quiet, round, and soft voice.
  • B17 & B17-Mini — 17-tine "keyboard kalimbas" also tuned to C-Major. Best suited for musicians who wish to play melodies; more musical skill required for intuitive play.
  • Sansula — B9 tines on a drum head for greater volume and a "Wah-Wah" effect. Available in Sansula Renaissance (synthetic head) or Sansula Deluxe (goat skin).

Koshi Terra and Zaphir Green wind chimes — C-Major Intuitive Soundscapes Collection

Koshi & Zaphir Chimes — Grounded Shimmer

The Koshi Terra chime, made in France, was the original inspiration for the Intuitive Soundscapes Collections concept. A beloved sound bath essential, Koshi chimes can be held in hand, hung from a stand, or left outdoors for the wind to play.

The Zaphir Green is Koshi's close cousin — also made in France, slightly thinner and taller with a colorful marble-like tube design. The Zaphir Green features a slightly alternate tuning with one Ab note that adds a sweet, subtle dissonance to the chord.

Koshi vs. Zaphir — what's the difference? Both use a dangling bead that taps metal dowels guided by a wooden sail. The Koshi is thicker and shorter with a minimalist bamboo design; the Zaphir is thinner and taller with a colorful decorative tube. Playing one in each hand creates a stereo effect — slightly different tones in each ear.
