tambura monochord DIY design and construction details
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)
