Frequently asked questions

Useful information for the use of our vibrational instruments.

A guide to frequently asked questions that will help you resolve your questions and concerns.

1. What is a sound healing bed?

The sound healing bed is a bed-shaped structure, entirely made of wood, which includes a set of strings located under the area where the patient lies. When used by a therapist, the strings vibrate and generate various physical sensations that promote total relaxation and healing for a patient.

2. How does the harmonic bed work on a therapeutic level?

Our harmonic beds act at the level of the central and peripheral nervous system, unblocking energy channels of the patient who receives the vibrations throughout his/her body (neuromuscular release). They generate a deep relaxation that facilitates rest and decreases tension and stress levels.

The assembly of the bed is very simple and does not require great skill. If you have any concerns, do not hesitate to contact us for more information.

6. Shipping & Delivery Options (Argentina-only)

We offer three options:

  1. Pick it up from our workshop with a large vehicle (Loma Verde, Partido de Escobar, Province of Buenos Aires).
  2. Shipment by freight to CABA and Greater Buenos Aires (to be quoted according to Location).
  3. Shipping by parcel (to be quoted according to Province).
7. How should the space be where the bed is located?

The harmonic bed is a large wooden instrument, so we suggest that you install it in a large space.

The environment must be optimal: with a stable temperature, neither dry nor humid.

It is also important that the floor is level for the bed to function properly.

Take care that the bed does not receive direct sun, do not place it near any source of heat (stove or air conditioning) and make sure that it is not exposed to drafts.

The acoustics of the space where you place your bed influences the resonance of its sound; We recommend taking this factor into account when choosing your location.

8. Does the bed require any special care?

The bed has a water-based polyurethane lacquer finish that generates a highly protective system against abrasion, provides resistance to humidity and provides an easy-to-clean surface.

However, as it is a delicate instrument, we suggest that you clean the bed with a soft cloth after each use, so as not to damage its surface. You can moisten the cloth with a solution of 70% alcohol and 30% water.

It is also convenient to cover it with a cover or blanket when you are not using it.

9. How do I care for the strings?

After each use, you can clean the strings with a damp cloth with a solution of 70% alcohol and 30% water. Additionally, every 15 days we suggest you use a lubricating fluid (WD40 or similar) or a special product for string cleaning. This is especially important if you live in an area high in saltpeter or with high levels of humidity.

10. How much weight can the bed support?

Our harmonic beds are built with quality wood, so they are safe and resistant. Its design and structure are specially designed to provide a solid base that guarantees that therapeutic and body work can be carried out with stability and comfort.
Our beds have been tested with people weighing up to 120 kg.

11. How do I tune the bed?

Check that all the strings are tuned to the note RE or RE sharp, Frequency Hz440 (unless your bed has been made and tuned to another note).

Before the bed leaves our workshop, we guarantee that it is in tune. In every stringed instrument it is necessary that the strings settle. For this reason, we recommend tuning them more than once until you achieve the desired sound.

You can tune in 2 ways:

  1. With a chromatic tuner.
  2. With a mobile tuning application (for example: “Fine Chromatic Tuner”).

Use the tuning key that we provide in the use kit. Place the key on the peg of each string and make it vibrate. Adjust the strings until they are all tuned to the note RE or RE sharp, Frequency Hz440. For special tunings, contact us.

Chromatic tuner

The chromatic tuner is a small, battery-operated device. It is placed next to the headstock of the bed to detect the note that sounds on each string.

Fine Chromatic Tuner

It is an easy and fast application that will allow you to tune your bed in a simple and practical way from your cell phone (unless your bed has been made and tuned to another note).

12. How do you change the strings?

The strings we use are steel (piano strings), although other types of strings can also be used, such as wound strings.

To change the strings, use one of the two spare sets we provide you in the kit. In case you do not have spare parts, you can contact us to acquire new ones.

To facilitate the change of the strings, it is convenient to place the bed upside down. The strings are placed in pairs, that is, each string covers two pegs.

Follow these steps:

You will remove the broken string and turn the peg two turns.

Place the end of the string on the first peg and turn it two turns with the tuning key so that it locks.

Cross the string over to the other side (in the opposite direction) and thread it into the lug directly in front of the peg (note carefully how the other strings are installed to perform this twist).

After twisting the string on the lug, twist the string on the next lug and come back to the end where the next peg is.

Pass the string through the peg, turn it to give it the correct tension and, with pliers, cut the part of the string that is left over.

With the help of the tuner, carry out the tuning procedure.

13. What does the warranty cover and include?

The warranty covers a period of 6 months from the day the bed is dispatched and applies only for functional failures.

It does not cover damages that could occur during the delivery trip or those caused by misuse of the instrument.

The repair service is carried out in our workshop and does not cover the delivery fees.

To ensure good use of your bed and to care for it properly, we recommend that you carefully read the recommendations on this page.

4. Do you need to know music to play monochords?

You don’t need to know music to play the monochord. It does not require great skills or advanced musical execution techniques. They are designed to be used by musicians, music-therapists, sound and vibrational therapists, psychologists and for anyone who is interested and wishes to delve into the spectrum of sound, its vibration and its impact on the body. They are ideal for healing, curing or just being enjoyed in the comfort of your home.

5. How is the monochord armed?

When we deliver the monocord we send you an instructional video with the step-by-step for its arming. It is very simple and does not require great skills. Any concerns, feel free to contact us for more information.

6. Once I acquire the monochord, how do I remove it?

We offer you the following options:

• Retreat for our workshop in Loma Verde (Partido de Escobar, Province of Buenos Aires).
• Shipping by freight (to be quoted according to location in CABA or AMBA).
• Custom shipping with protective case (extra value).

7. What should be the space where the monochord is located?

The environment should be optimal: with a stable temperature, neither dry nor wet. The sudden change in temperature causes the tuning of your monochord to change quickly as well.

Take care that it does not receive direct sunlight, do not place it near any heat source (stove or air conditioner) and make sure it is not exposed to drafts.

The acoustics of the space where you place your monochord influences the resonance of its sound; we recommend keeping this factor in mind when choosing your location.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and care

The monocord has a waterproof polyurethane lacquer finish that generates a system of great abrasion protection, adds moisture resistance and provides an easy-to-clean surface. We suggest you clean it periodically with a soft cloth using a wood cleaner. It is also convenient that you store it in its case or holster when not in use.

After each use, we recommend that you clean the strings with a damp cloth with a solution of 70% alcohol and 30% water. Additionally, every 15 days we suggest you use a lubricating fluid (WD40 or similar) or a special steel string cleaning product. This is especially important if you live in an area high in salt or with high humidity (to prevent rusting). We also suggest that you do not over-tension the strings as they may break.

9. How much does the monochord weigh?

Our monochords are built with quality woods, so they are safe and durable. Both monochords are lightweight and easy to move. Our Din model weighs around 5 kg and our Atma model weighs close to 3 kg. Being lightweight they can be used locally either on the body of the one receiving the touch or the one performing it.

10. How is the monochord tuned?

You can perform tuning in 2 ways:

1. With a chromatic tuner.
2. With a cell phone tuning app (for example, “Fine Chromatic Tuner”).

On the digital tuner you use you can set the overall tuning to tune the instrument. This tuning refers to the musical note LA, which can be set to the frequency of 440 Hz or 432Hz (Solfeggio Frequencies).

Use the tuning key we delivered in the user kit and play the string next to the tuner as you adjust clockwise or counterclockwise (clockwise the tuning goes up and directs the frequency towards the treble, and counterclockwise the tuning goes down, directing the sound to a more serious frequency). I bear in mind that when strings are new they tend to detune quickly. As you use the instrument the strings will settle and the tuning will stay much more stable.
Tune the strings until they are tuned to the desired note by guiding you with the tuning card. For special tunings, consult us.

Chromatic tuner
The chromatic tuner is a small device that runs on batteries. It is placed next to the bed fretboard to detect the note playing on each string.

Fine Chromatic Tuner
It is a lightweight and fast app that will allow you to tune your bed easily and conveniently from your mobile phone.

11. How are strings changed?

To change the strings on your monochord, use the ones included in this user kit. In case you no longer have these spare parts, you can contact us to acquire new ones. Each string has an eyelet that embraces the screws located at one end of the monocord and are anchored at the opposite end through the peg hole.

I followed these steps:

• Remove the string to be changed and turn the peg two turns outward (counterclockwise).
• Place the eyelet on the corresponding screw on the end of the monocord.
• Guide and locate the string on the peg that aligns respectively with the screw that clamps the eyelet, and turn it inwards with the tuning wrench so that it remains locked (clockwise) achieving the tension needed to reach the desired note. With pliers, cut the part of the string that is over.
• With the help of the tuner, perform the tuning procedure.

12. What is the warranty period and what does it include?

The warranty we offer covers a period of 6 months from the day the monocord is dispatched. We guarantee to repair only material defects.
The repair service is carried out in our workshop and does not cover moving.

It does not cover damage that might occur on the delivery journey or those caused by misuse/care of the instrument.

To ensure good use of your monocord and care for it properly read carefully the recommendations in our use and care guide.
