Sound Chair Therapy Monochord
The double instrument: Sound-chair and Therapy Monochord
This instrument can be used either as a sound chair or as a therapy monochord to be placed on the body. The backrest of the sound chair is a wide therapy monochord that can be easily removed. All you need to do is loosen four Allen screws. The chair construction can be dismantled using 4 additional Allen screws. The backrest of the chair is very tilted, so that you can enjoy the sound perfectly, almost as if you were lying down. The powerful vibrations spread unhindered to the seat and armrests because the sound body is firmly screwed to the chair construction. The therapy monochord can also be purchased individually.
Sound
The total of 12 bass, fifth and octave strings ensure a rich, deep and enveloping sound. The remaining 34 bare steel strings produce a nice, broad overtone spectrum.
Similar to the sound chair lounger or the large sound lounger, this instrument enables intensive sound and self-experience. Within a few minutes, a deep physical and mental relaxation can occur that is otherwise only experienced after some meditation practice.
This relaxed and expanded inner state brought about by the sound can be used very well in the context of body therapeutic and spiritual processes.
Applications
When working with people who are coming into contact with body sound instruments for the first time, it can be advantageous to use the sound chair first, as the upright sitting position creates a less intimate situation than when lying down.
The sound transmission is also less intense when sitting, which seems suitable for more sensitive characters, as the force of the sound does not affect them as much as is the case when lying down. Even people who have problems developing steadfastness in life are certainly better advised to adopt a sitting position during treatment.
Many therapists also work in groups with the soundchair-bed. Since the sound of the instrument is very full and powerful, even those who do not sit or lie on the instrument have a very intense sound experience through the spatial sound or, if they lie on a wooden floor also due to the sound vibrations in the floor.
