Turn your Monolina into a melody instrument. Add 5 bridges under the strings and you can tune melody notes and play them intuitively, like a dulcimer or koto. The single notes ring out like splashes of color over the monochord's steady drone.
The template shows where to place the bridges for a pentatonic major or minor scale. It works with all five Monolina tunings: A, C, F, G and D. Each tuning has its own line on the template, showing which notes to tune the strings to. Once tuned, you can move the bridges between major and minor without retuning.
A folding strip on the template keeps it from sliding while you position the bridges. You can also set up your own tunings, order extra bridges for a diatonic scale, or leave the bridges out entirely.
Use only one or two bridges. That leaves enough open strings for the overtones, and the narrower Monolini body isn't built for the extra tension of more bridges, which could damage it over time.

Beautiful and high quality instrument.
Beautiful instruments!
The B17 has a beautiful tone! The cherry wood is beautiful and the structure of the kalimba is exquisitely made. I love it!
This is a sturdy bag, custom made for the B17. It provides excellent protection and a classy look.
I have all four Koshi chimes and absolutely love them. Each one has a beautiful, distinct sound and its own character. They complement each other wonderfully, and I’m very happy I got the complete set.Si

Thank you WE PLAY WELL TOGETHER! I couldn’t be more happy with my new D Monolina and appreciate everything about this magnificent and unique instrument as well as the help in ordering from Gabriele. I already am feeling the healing benefits and look forward to using it in my Sound Healing/Music Therapy work!
I have only had my Monolina C for about 10 days, and already I have fallen in love with it. The craftsmanship is beautiful. I purchased the legs and travel bag as well, and yesterday traveled with it to visit a friend who is recovering from surgery. I tried out the placement of the monolina on her body, and she said it felt amazing and reduced her level of discomfort tremendously! I also really appreciate the excellent customer service from Gabriele, who helped me with some questions about purchasing, and then with some initial tuning questions. I was also able to attend one of the Monochord Monday Meet-Ups, which I found very inspiring. I highly recommend both this company and the high quality instruments!
I run this kalimba through effects pedals and get some amazing soundscapes with it. Very versatile and beautiful. Highly recommended. I appreciate that we play well together carries these wonderful instruments. Highly recommended.
A beautiful Kalimba. I run this through effects pedals and you can do some amazing musical soundscapes with it. I would certainly buy again. I appreciate weplaywelltogether carrying and shipping this item. Highly recommended.
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.
Good size and weight.
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.
While our Soundscapes are centered around the feeltone Monolina and Monolini and available in 4 tunings. But you don't need to own a monochord to take advantage of a matching collection.
Already have instruments? Find your root note and choose the collection that matches — then build from there.
