Page 2: Assembly Instructions
Assembly instructions Vertical standing position In this position the monochord can be stored space saving. Make sure fastening screw is screwed in tightly to hold the monochord upright and the locking mechanism has clicked in. Use the two short screws with the round wooden handle to mount the feet on both sides of the body of the monochord. - 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 The Tuning process for Tanpura The Tanpura is an east indian Overtone music instrument. When you play the strings create the typical snare tone. If you want to maximize the snare effect you can move the Tanpura bridge a little bit to the left or right. Another thing you can do is to insert a thin string and put the string right under the place where the metal string touches the bridge.
