the playful easiness of the singing chair

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.

monchair - invites you to indulge yourself with sound and vibration.

A pleasantly vibrating ‘flying sound carpet’ will sweep you away from the stress of your everyday activities and
transform you to a pleasantly mindful, relaxed state in only 5 minutes as your breathing and heart rate will slow
down. During the session, a sense of deep relaxation on all levels arises.
In a light and playful way, people experience a soothing vibration, creating a gentle massage which invokes a state
of calmness and an in the moment awareness which is often lacking in our daily lives.

The tuner

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.
