Fine-tuning using tiger's eye stone beads
The monochord is a wooden body strung with many strings. All the steel strings are tuned to the same pitch.
When played evenly with the fingers, a "standing tone" is created, an intense and harmonious sound field.
Our monochords have very good sound properties and pronounced harmonic sounds.
All the strings pass over a bridge. If you move it, the fundamental tone can be changed at will with one hand.
📋 Information sheet
| Characteristic | Information |
|---|
| Name | Monochord |
| Origin | Greek Antiquity (attributed to Pythagoras in the 6th century BC) |
| Description | An instrument with one (sometimes several) strings stretched over a soundbox, used to demonstrate tonal and harmonic relationships. |
| Traditional materials | Wood for the body, gut or metal strings |
| Original function | Scientific and educational tool: study of acoustics, musical intervals and mathematical proportions (the famous "Pythagorean harmonics") |
| Game technique | The string is plucked or bowed, and a movable bridge allows the vibrating length to be changed to create different pitches. |
| Sound | Its sound was clear, pure, and not very powerful, similar to a zither string. |
| Modern applications | - Still used in music education - Contemporary version in music therapy / sound therapy : a monochord with several strings tuned in unison to create a relaxing vibrational soundscape |
| Symbolism | Universal harmony, the link between music, mathematics, and the cosmos |

Belle cloche avec un son clair et haut perché !
Très bel article et de qualité
J'ai beaucoup aimé le Bullroarer, il a été expédié très rapidement et le service était également excellent, salutations !
Ce livre fait une synthèse précise et documentée des recherches et de l'enseignement de Babakar Khane. Théorie et pratique y alternent pour guider le lecteur vers la compréhension d'une part, et vers une pratique adaptée d'autre part, quelque soit le niveau de pratique visé.
Merci infiniment à Gem&Zen pour ce magnifique bol que j'ai reçu très rapidement dans un emballage soigné !
Je recommande
