Padouk Soundwave Monochord & Bass Drum
Recline into the curved surface of the Padouk Soundwave and let 40 resonating strings and a deep-toned bass drum wash over your whole body. Invented by feeltone's Ingo Böhme in 2003 and used by sound therapists worldwide, this monochord-and-drum instrument turns a single session into a full-body journey of vibration, warmth, and stillness — perfect for meditation, relaxation, massage, and therapeutic treatments.

What our customers are saying
"The Soundwave is such a complete and powerful instrument. The four notes of the tongue drum each address another part of the body… The monochord creates smooth, rich sound waves that take you on a journey within. You may experience a deep sense of relaxation, see shapes or colors, hear choirs, flutes, horns, or feel deeply rooted emotions. I often use the Soundwave for people with emotional stress. It helps open doors previously kept locked."
— Patrik Niels, sound therapist (Belgium)
