The Feeltone Monolini — Handcrafted 21-String Monochord for Sound Healing, Meditation & Sound Baths
The Feeltone Monolini is a handcrafted 21-string monochord made in Germany from ash and cherry wood.
Lightweight and versatile, it instantly creates rich, resonant overtones the moment you strum it — no musical experience required.
The Monolini uniquely combines bright overtone strings with deeper octave and fifth strings, creating a grounding harmonic interval beneath the higher harmonics.
Available in 5 tunings: C, A, G, F, and D. Each tuning is built around a root note, an octave, and a fifth, giving every model its own deeply resonant harmonic signature.
Designed so anyone can pick it up and play right away, the Monolini is equally at home in sound baths, meditation sessions, concert performances, and accompanying singing and chanting and lightweight enough to be used on the body.
Choose Your Tuning
Each tuning has its own character and belongs to one of our four color-coded instrument collections. Every instrument within a collection shares the same tonal center, so they naturally play well together.

Why does the F Monolini belong to the Green C-Major collection?
Even though the F Monolini is rooted in F, its fifth string is tuned to C — which means it shares a tonal center with the C-Major collection. In practice this means your F Monolini will play beautifully alongside any Green C-Major instrument in our collection, from kalimbas to chimes.
Building a Sound Collection?
Our color-coded collections make it easy to combine instruments that are guaranteed to harmonize:
🟢 Green C-Major — pairs with the C and F Monolini
🟡 Yellow A-minor — pairs with the A Monolini
🔴 Red G-Major — pairs with the G Monolini
🔵 Blue D-minor — pairs with the D Monolini
Every Monolini is the natural centerpiece of its collection. Add a matching kalimba, chime, or tongue drum from the same color collection and your instruments will always sound right together.
The Monolini as a light weigth Body Monochord
The Monolini's boat-shaped underside is designed so practitioners can rest it directly on a client's body during sound massage sessions — allowing the receiver to physically feel the vibrations through the wood as well as hear them.

What our customers are saying...
"As a music therapist, I know about the incredible therapeutic value of sound and vibration. I use the monochord to begin and end yoga classes, massage therapy sessions, and guided meditations. Because we synchronize with our sonic environment- a principle called "entrainment"- the monochord is a powerful tool that induces a parasympathetic response, reducing heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, pulse and brainwave activity. It facilitates a shift from the busy thinking and doing states to a calm feeling and being state, thereby promoting relaxation and preparing clients to enter and receive deep healing, and meditative states."
