We're thrilled to note that our Monolina A and the Concert KoTaMo monochord were featured in today.com article and where adding a unique dimension to the performance and learning experience.
The Louis Armstrong Center for Music and Medicine has discovered a profound tool in the Vibrational Singing Chair from feeltone, integrating it into their Music Therapy program with remarkable results. San Francisco-based sound practitioner Lydia Hwang recently demonstrated its effectiveness alongside Monolina Monochords and Klangfarben Hanging Chimes, further exploring the chair's therapeutic potential.
Originally drawn to sound healing following an autoimmune diagnosis, Lydia's journey has led her to a deep understanding of the healing properties of sound, particularly through the monochord chair's ability to produce consonant intervals and octaves. Utilized as a warm-up tool, the chair has captivated both patients and healthcare staff, offering moments of tranquility and relief from ailments such as migraines through specific vocal and string techniques.
The chair's impact extends beyond adults; it has also provided a serene experience for a child with pervasive developmental delays, showcasing its versatility and ability to create a meditative state conducive to therapy and relaxation. As the MonChair becomes integrated into hospital settings, its efficacy in pain management and recovery is being formally evaluated, promising a future where sound healing is a standard part of patient care. The MonChair, with its dual function as an office chair, underscores the adaptability and holistic benefit of integrating vibrational sound therapy into healing spaces.
Enjoying my Monolini G thoroughly. I have a D Monolina and the addition of the Monolini added another dimension to my playing experience. The D has a rich, grounding tonality and the G compliments that richness with bringing what feels like (to me) a richer expression, adding another range of subtlety and overtones. Beautiful!
