    Assemble the long wood handle screw, foot, disk, long sleeve, disk for this positi- Make sure the feet are tighten securly . Check out our videos on YouTube at the feeltone products channel! Here you will fi nd more information about our instrument, exampels how to play them, tuning tips and more.
  • Page 3 The included tuner is designed to be used in a silent environment. If you have to tune in a noisy environment we recomment a clipon tuner (CA-AW3G) or a contact microphone (CA-CM200). This allows you to tune independent of the noise level around you. Both are not included and can be purchased through feeltone.
  • Page 4 We ship the instrument pretuned. But because strings and wood are reacting with temperature you will need to tune the instrument upon arrival and after a couple of retunings it will keep its tuning for long period of time. Let the instrument rest and acclimate to the new surrounding. After the instrument was unpacked and had rested for a day use the tuning key and the tuner coming with the instrument to tune it.
  • Page 5 Playing instructions If you intend a relaxing effect we recommend to play smooth and steady on the monochord strings to create an even sound wave. Imagine a small, long wave that rolls back and forth on the beach. a.) Put one fi nger (middle or ring fi nger) of the right (or left) hand in the middle of the top string and run it smoothly across all strings towards your body.
