Special advantages/strengths of all monochords
The ALLTON monochord has an amazingly good sound despite its small size. The underside is flat and nicely rounded at the edges. The monochord can be placed on the legs, stomach or back, or held in the arm. The recessed grips on the sides ensure easy handling. This new Model A is slimmer and longer than its predecessors, which makes the sound even fuller. The harmonious combination of fifth, fourth and octave intervals is very pleasant for most people. Invigorating and relaxing at the same time.
It can be played by regularly stroking the strings with your fingertips or by plucking the notes rhythmically.
When placed on the body, you can feel the harmony or individual notes as a gentle vibration. The underside is flat and nicely rounded at the edges. Despite the short string length, the wrapped guitar strings produce a rich, deep sound that promotes sensory perception when played on the body. When playing, the whole instrument vibrates and transmits this to the body. This activates the body cells (vibroacoustics / basal stimulation). The ALLTON monochord can be used while sitting or lying down.
