What is the monochord?

The monochord is an ancient instrument invented by Pythagoras. He realised through exploring music ratios and harmonics that certain intervals in music had a profound and healing effect not just on humans, but certain ratios also governed the movement of planets.  One such interval having healing properties is a perfect fifth which the monochord uses for healing.

With the understanding of  how vibration is the healing medicine  of these times, clinical music therapist Joachim Marz developed the monochord as a sound healing table, 7ft long, 56 strings underneath half of which are tuned to C and the other half tuned to G (a perfect fifth).  What makes this instrument extraordinary is that due to its flat top, you lie directly on top of the monochord.

As the monochord is being played, the vibration goes directly into your body.  Each cell starts to resonate with the healing harmonics of the monochord, helping the cells to come back into holistic resonance and optimum functioning as far as nature allows.  It is like having a sonic massage.  You are being bathed from head to toe in healing resonance.
