The Classic Singing Chair with monochord backside enables a special full body experience of sound, vibration and sound massage. The Classic is built to order and available approximately one month after your order is received.

This is a functional therapeutic instrument for private practices, clinics, wellness centers to offices. Sit inside the resonance body of the instrument to experience an unlimited exploration of sound.

Quality: Hand Crafted in Germany

Strings and Tuning: Available with Monochord tuning or Tambura tuning. The monochord tuning allows you to create a more nuanced play.

Monochord tuning: 2 sets of 30 strings (B-d/b-d’) (60 strings total).  22 bass strings tuned to D and 18 overtone strings tuned to the higher octave in d.

Monochord tuning allows the player more creative possibilities to evoke the fine and subtle overtones. You can vary and either focus on the deeper tones, which have more vibrations, or play the higher strings to create more overtones.

Tambura tuning: 15 sets of 4 strings (C, c, c, G) repeated (60 strings total).

Tambura tuning requires no prior training to use and works well for settings like offices, hotels, wellness and care facilities. String the strings evenly with your fingers and you will create overtones with rich harmonics. The repeated sequences create a rich, full and relaxing sound environment.

Clinical Case Studies with the Singing Chair

The Vibration Singing Chair, from feeltone, has served as an important instrument to the patients we serve at The Louis Armstrong Center for Music and Medicine at Beth Israel Medical Center.

I have appreciated that I have the ability to tune the strings and have used consonant intervals which have been made profound in octaves, fourth and fifths. Most often, I have tuned the chair strings in octaves.

For several years, we kept the chair in our clinic and it served as a warm up for many patients and staff that entered the Center.

For doctors, nurses, and others, it was an eye catcher at first, because the wood is attractive and resembles nature. Posed in the corner reception area of the clinic, many would ask: “What is that chair?” As we described it as a “vibration chair, used for healing”-staff would ask: “May I try it out?”

For one nurse manager, the chair-try became a bit of a ritual. On stressful days, she would come to the Center and request that I work with her-which I was more than willing to do, stealing several ‘in-between’ patient moments for her. Her complaints were of head pain-“migraines.” I used the highest strings and lowest strings on an “ee” vowel breath release-tonal vocal holding, my voice blanketing her pain and slowing the rhythm down of the pulsating head pounds that she described.

There are numerous patients who have benefited from the breath glissando release sounds I use accompanied by the string glissando-from low to high and then absorption…where the strings resonate and saturate through the warm wood into the body. In a general way, this warm up takes only about five minutes and creates “flow” and a sense of “homeostasis” or “self integration” or “synchrony between the body-mind-spirit” as one of my pianist musician players often says.

Try it - you will love it . . .

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!
