Sound Healing ~ Edward Maesen

Design and construction details of a monochord I made, which I named the "Earth Cithura". It is a board zither drone instrument inspired by the Indian Tambura. The base frequency of the instrument corresponds to the earth rotation duration. This instrument was designed for use in my sound healing sessions. Although typically called a "monochord", a "polychord" would probably be more approriate because it has 27 strings, tuned in three octaves of G, with D (a fifth above G) as well, in a repeating tambura-style pattern: G1 [G2 D3 G3 G3](5x) [G3](6x) 00:00 intro 01:12 material and dimensions 02:13 27 strings tambura style 04:03 tuning beads fine-tuning 05:40 string specifics 07:14 string tension formula 09:08 sympathetic strings 10:43 bridge design 12:02 loop-end string set 12:47 distance between strings 13:23 tuning beads 13:43 dimensions of tuning beads support surface 14:48 wood types 15:22 view of sound healing setup 15:30 details about construction, with photos 16:21 sound sample Beyond the story Beyond belief Dwells freedom https://MountShastaSoundHealing.com https://MountShastaPhotographyArt.com
