Join us monthly live online hosted by Joule L'Adara to play your monochord as a self-care practice and meet our worldwide community of monochord players who also love this unique sound meditation instrument.
Monochord Monday Meeetup takes place every third Monday of the month live on Zoom at the following times:
9-10am PT, 10-11am MT, 11am-12pm CT, 12-1pm EST, 5-6pm UK, 6-7pm Eur
We hosted a very special Monochord Monday Meetup on April 29th with honored guests Christine Stevens and Aaron Gannon who gave the presentation: "Playing monochord for sound healing - new research findings"
This Webinar was offered in connection with the newly published research article in the Journal of Music and Medicine: Sound Healing Online Reduces Pain, Stress, and Discomfort with Lasting Effects (here you can access the direct publication available for purchase)
In this introspective piece by Feeltone Trainer Joule L'Adara, the transformative power of sound and monochord practice is explored as a profound method for navigating challenging times. Beginning 2020 with optimism, Joule's world turned inward with the onset of the pandemic, leading to an enhanced sensory experience and deeper internal life amidst isolation. The importance of daily practices, particularly movement, sound, and voice, became paramount, serving not just as routines but as essential tools for mental and emotional survival.
Most people think the Monochord is intuitive—and it is. But once you experience what’s possible with focused training, you’ll never play the same way again. It changes how you play—and how others feel when they listen.
This isn't just a workshop. It's a revelation.
Learn to facilitate deep sound journeys with confidence, presence, and precision.
And here’s what every single student says afterward:
“I had no idea how much more there was to this instrument.”
The Monolina and Monolini is lightweight and can be placed onto the body while played.
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.
I loves these, perfect to my steel tongue drum. The sound they produce is stunning. These are a must have. Good size and weight. Excellent Product!! The customer service help from these ladies is top notch. 💯 Thank you so much.
The monolini is an exquisite instrument with resonance that invites peace and well being. Thank you to Gabriele for our conversation and welcome into a community of like-minded people.
I had purchased the Sansula Basic on the recommendation of Laura Inserra - sound alchemist. I loved the tone and used it regularly in my classes. I purchased the padded case and all was well until it slipped out of my hand onto my yoga mat and to my dismay the membrane exploded into many pieces - I was both shocked and very disappointed.
I called the company right away and the owner explained I would have been better choosing the more robust version as I was transporting it regularly and that the basic model is much more delicate and is more suitable for studio work. As repairing mine would involve costly shipping back and forth to Germany, she recommended I purchase the Renaissance model at the repair program discounted price, which I did.
So lesson learned, buy the more robust models if you plan to use the Sansula in classes or for travel. Thank you We Play Well Together.
I’m loving this kalimba!
However, the highest note does not ring like the rest. And the third to highest note is ever so slightly flat.
But I know I’m going to love her.
A few years ago I became casually interested in the Kalimba because of its simplicity of design and playability. Without experience or a good point of reference I needed to taste a lot of flavors to sort out the choices. For a while, my discards kept the local Goodwill store supplied with inventory.
The feeding frenzy stopped when I discovered Hokema. Build and material quality is professional grade. The tines are not stiff, so you can play at any intensity without stressing a thumb nails. Resonance from the solid wood base and the resulting sustain are simply stunning. Even the high notes sing, unlike the flat 'tapping an aluminum pan' sound from my discards.
I first purchased the B-17, and later the smaller B-17 Mini. Comments above apply to both. There is no problem holding, playing, or carrying around either instrument. The Mini's smaller footprint might be more comfortable for small hands. I just like the smaller package. Because the B-17's wood block is wider, it has more space between the tines. Both instruments appear to use the same tine assembly materials, but the Mini has a shorter cross bar. The Mini's tine spacing is grouped, but they can be adjusted to make the spacing more uniform like the B-17. In that mode, even with the smaller block the tine spacing is noticeably wider than some other Kalimbas I've tried. My thumbs are average width for a 5'8" person and my nails are normally rounded (not pointed), and I have no trouble playing individual notes.
Tablature is available around the net for 17-key Kalimbas (RiffSpot has a nice ebook), so you can play tunes without reading music on both the B-17 and B-17 Mini.
I just took the week-long monochord training with Joule and fell in love with my Monolina. Joule is a fun, engaging and knowledgeable teacher who brings deep reverence to her instruments and the art of playing them. We got to experiment with and experience all the different ways of expressing through our monochords and came away with a proven, complete and beautiful 45-minute session we can now offer. I highly recommend this class.
Wonderful instrument. It’s easy to travel with and well crafted. Customer service is wonderful as well. Very responsive. I am always impressed with the attention to customer service and care of the instruments. This instruments complement my crystal singing bowls and monalina nicely.
This set elevates one’s instruments to the next level. Having all these components really sets one up for success and allows room for growth to grow into your sound practice.
The versatility that comes with having the leg extensions allows the player to be comfortable in a variety of ways while playing. The mallets add additional ways to play.
Tuning is a breeze with the template. When not being played or on the go with this monolina, the mats keep everything safe and the backpack makes it so you can take it to the studio or out into nature to play.
I can’t say enough great things about it, it’s a must have in the sound tool kit for sure.
