mono
The sandawa is essentially a monochord with many strings tuned to the same
note. The belief that each of the celestial bodies generates a musical tone has persisted since ancient times. While the frequencies of the tones are outside hearing range, they become audible when the pitch is raised by a specific number of octaves. Berendt reproduces these tones accoustically on the “sandawa,” a multistring monochord instrument that creates manifold overtones.
