Special advantages/strengths of all monochords

• Laminated beech makes it robust and stable
• Stable tuning even with temperature fluctuations
• Sound massage: The lack of resonance chamber enhances the transmission of vibrations
• Support: The fingers fit very well between the body and the strings.

This vibro-acoustic stringed instrument has been developed for sensory body perception. Without a resonating body, the vibration of the strings is transmitted directly to the underside. The slight curvature allows a particularly high level of vibration to be generated and perceived by the body. Despite its small size, the construction and use of wound strings creates a deep, very perceptible sound vibration. The integrated brass bridge produces a fuller sound. The compact shape makes it easier to use for bedridden patients or in mobile nursing care. Handling is optimized by the ergonomic recessed grip and the high string spacing, as the hands can be placed here to make the sound vibrations perceptible via the hands and fingers. The Spür monochord is also particularly recommended for bedridden people
