The Monochord is an ancient instrument invented by Pythagoras of Samos around 530 BCE. The featured instrument is a state of the art hand-crafted version with 25 strings on each side: On the lower side there are 25 gauge .054 strings, whereas on the higher side 25 gauge .025 strings*.
The main feature of that instrument is that all the strings are tuned to the same note, thus creating a sound continuation allowing the practitioner to create endless sustained arpeggios.
