The feeltone Octave Monochord Table is a 60-string sound massage table, also called a sound table or sound bed: 30 overtone strings and 30 bass strings, tuned an octave apart, played beneath the person lying on it.
Lie back on the flat reclining surface and feel the sound move through your whole body. The overtone strings give a bright, shimmering sound carpet; the bass strings add depth and vibration you can feel.
This is the complete set for sound therapy: the table with every add-on, shipped together.
Inside the table is a carefully designed sound chamber structure, proprietary to feeltone. It keeps the tuning stable while someone is lying on the table, and it gives this model its brilliant overtones and deep bass.
Is this the right instrument to start with?
You don't have to be a musician to play the Octave Monochord Table. We do recommend some experience with string instruments or a monochord, so that the basic playing techniques are already familiar. Learning on a monochord table without ever having played a monochord is not easy.
To help you get the best out of your purchase, we include a free Level I course, online or in person.
Prefer to start small? Begin with a Monolini or Monolina. When you are ready for a table, trade it in and we will credit the full purchase price of the instrument toward your Octave Monochord Table. You pay only the shipping to send it back to us.

Good to know
For tuning, loosen four screws and the table turns on its axis, so the strings face you.
After a session, help your client up and stay with them until they are standing; circulation can be unsteady after a long treatment.

“The power of sound has the ability to penetrate our cells, our hearts, our souls, our minds, and it may ignite your own body's healing abilities… Meet my new monochord table. It has 60 strings underneath. To experience a sound session with my new monochord table is an experience like no other you can imagine.”
Unfortunately these wonderful creations are outside my budget but, today, I got to sit in one and I have to say it was one of the most pleasant experiences I have had in a long time. Energy work is not for everyone, my friend with me had to stand up and move away from the vibrations.
Personally, I am a trained spiritual healer and also trained in Reiki. I am an intuitive and Medium. I have used drums for my own benefit and learned through the amazing Arthur Hull to be certified in Drum Circle Facilitation.
Music, in whichever form, is all about vibration. We benefit from 'good vibrations' as the Beach Boys shared with us soooooo many years ago.
These incredible seats hold you in an embrace of comfort and energy that had an incredibly uplifting and relaxing effect on me today. If it is in your budget then I would highly recommend these.

Integration plus!
I am so pleased with the addition of the Monchair in my healing practice treatment room. It works so effectively at calming a client who is nervous or anxiety ridden so that we can proceed to the treatment table with out a long process of relaxation. Just 5 mins is really all that is needed. The chair takes up about the amount of space a comfortable chair might take and is very pleasant to look at. A lot of folks do not even realize where the music is coming from until I show them the strings! One of my clients only wants the chair when she comes for treatments and I am happy to play for her session for an hour. Playing also puts me in a beautiful space to do my work. I often use it for integration after a particularly intense healing process and people are able to integrate and ground much quicker with the vibrations the chair runs through their body.

Monochord Table
I have worked with the monochord table for several years with individuals. The depth and extend of the effect from the table is absolutely amazing. The monochord table gives a full physical and energetic body tuning and harmonization.
It is truly like nothing else you have ever tried!
I give my highest recommendation to feeltone instruments, specially the monochord table!

These chimes are absolutely beautiful. The sound is stunning. We own the original 4 elemental chimes and couldn’t wait to purchase these. They did not disappoint. We used them the day after they arrived in one of our scheduled sound baths to great delight.

A brand new Monolina owner who is very happy
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!

Intuitive Soundscapes Collections
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.
Starting from scratch? Browse the collections, listen to the tunings, and find the one that speaks to you.
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.
Hokema B17 Mini Kalimba – 17 Key Thumb Piano, C-Major, Handmade in Germany

The B-17 Mini is a delightful instrument.
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.

Monochord Training Level 1 and 2
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.

Life changing vibration
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.
