How to tune a Hokema Kalimba: Tuning Instructions and Tuning samples
Tuning made easy with our Tuning Videos and the Tuning Tool .
We have compiled a couple of videos showing you different tuning flavors for your B9 or any Sansulas.
The tuning tool has an indention on the top so you can securely place it at the end of the tine and it won't slide when you use a hammer to tap the tuning tool and push the tines in or out.
We show you how its down in the videos plus you get to hear the different tuning suggestions.
If you would like to design your own Tuning here is a TUNING PDF that shows you the default tunning and the different possible positions for the tines and the resulting tunning.
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.
I am new to the Monolina world but have been around stringed instruments all my life. I'm so excited about its possibilities as a solo instrument for use in Reiki, as well as in an ensemble setting. It helps me to meditate as well.
We have a full set of crystal bowls, and the low C monochord adds a wonderful depth to their sounding. I also find myself humming/singing over the low C drone in a quite natural way. Very happy with my new instrument.
