Large octave Monochord with Tampura



The Double Sided 2 in 1 - Two octaves of harmony with the addition of Indian tambura sound, a sound bath in itself. Invites voice and chanting.

The tambura enriches the monochrome sound of the Monochord with its fresh, very Indian whirring tones, which light up from time to time. The double sided octave Monochord with tambura is designed to be played in a vertical position, the high harmonics with the invigorating tambura on one side, the bass strings on the other. In this position the instrument is also very space-saving and a beauty in the living room. Of course, this monochord can also be played lying down, the distance to the floor is large enough for the hand to operate the lower level of the strings.

The full sound of the large Monochord carries for a long time and touches you through its richness of overtones of the two types of strings, the plain and the wound bass strings. The waves of the overtones are amplified by the sound of the tambura. Thus in upright playing the sound has a centering and balancing effect, and in horizontal playing the upper type of string (usually the one with the tambura) sounds dominant and is accompanied by the other, lower type of string.

The spherical and restrained sound of the overtones is perfectly suited for all kinds of singing. The Octave Monochord challenges the voice to tune into the ocean of sounds and to come into harmony.


This double sided octave Monochord contains 2 instruments in one:

  • The monochrome Monochord with 30 bass strings on one side and 20 overtone strings on the other
  • The earthy Tampura with 4 strings in C,c, c, G, which produces gentle and long-lasting, Indian-style whirring overtones


Both sides can be played in both upright and horizontal position.
