Sound Chair - Monchair - Monochord tuning

Sound Chair - Monchair - Monochord tuning

Monchair invites you to enjoy and relax with its sound. A pleasantly vibrating sound carpet entices you to stop time and "listen up". Only 5 minutes are enough for calmness to return, thoughts to flow out, breathing and heart rate to regulate. Relaxation happens on all levels in a light, almost playful way. Sounds gently touch and vibrations massage, vitalize and promote a presence that we so often long for.

If monchair is played for a longer time, the sound easily leads to meditative states for both player and played. The body becomes a resonance chamber and is perceived more consciously.

Monchair becomes interesting in therapeutic and pedagogical use. The advantages of the monochrome sounds with their opening, consciousness-raising and integrating principle not only support their work, but also stimulate the self-healing powers.

Ingo Boehme has been developing and designing musical instruments for intuitive music and therapy since 1982. Beginning in 2003, Martina Glaser-Boehme has integrated the feeltone sound vibration instruments into her sound and massage practice. She has also developed training material for the feeltone instruments that she teaches worldwide. Their cooperation inspired the creation of the monchair. The design, its visual lightness, and sonority makes monchair a one of a kind sound furniture. Truly eye catching and worthwhile to listen to, the chair is soothing with its lulling vibrations, soft seat and headrest.
