The sandawa is a string instrument inspired by Japanese monochords from the mid-20th century. It is essentially a sound bed that a person lies on while the musician plays the strings from beneath, primarily for therapeutic purposes. Much of the instrument’s mystique comes from the harmonics it produces. This monochord typically plays in the lower register, but it also has a higher-pitched section, shorter from the bridge. Its tuning can vary based on the intentions of the person lying on the sandawa, often aligned with the frequencies of the Solfeggio scale. Usually, all the strings are tuned to the same note.
