Sound Healing Instruments for sale
I personally prefer instruments that are highly resonant and simple to play, so that they keep me in a state of meditation as I play them and it is also easier for the attendees to feel the vibration in their bodies and energy field.
I work and collaborate with We Play Well Together – a wonderful small business founded by Gabriele Schwibach. She is the the official distributor of Hokema and feeltone instruments in the US and has had personal relationship with the makers for decades. What I like most about their instruments is that they are easy to play and – according to the name – they play well together! The instruments are grouped based on elements (from Koshi chimes) and tunings. Click the name or the picture to see more details and pricing.
feeltone Monochord
Monochord is one of the most soothing instrument I know. It has a soft tone with rich overtones and it is very soothing fo the nervous system. It is a great accompaniment for singing. I play it often in clinical settings (cancer, mental health and substance abuse). Even people who are sensitive to sounds are able to sooth their nervous system with its’ beautiful resonance.
Joule L’Adara gives you more in-depth information on what to consider when choosing a monochord in the set of the concierge tour. Take a listen here.
You can choose from C (highest), A, G, F and D (lowest) tunings. It is easy to tune them into 440Hz or 432Hz based on your other instruments. To order and listen to the different tunings, click here.

Elements
Incorporating elements to sound healing sessions is lots of fun. I personally pay attention which is the most noticeable element the person/people have as they enter the room. People with prominent water element tend to be more emotional. Earth brings in boundaries and order. Air shows up with quick thinking or talking multiple topics in same sentence. Fire might show up as anger. Harmonizing the most prominent element and bringing up other elements may become the theme of the session.
Koshi originally created their chimes based on elements. We Play Well Together has worked closely with instrument manufacturers such as Hokema, feeltone and Metalsounds to add more instruments to the mix. They recently also color coordinated them so that they are easy to notice when playing.

Tuning forks
I met Dr. John Beaulieu in 2010 at Omega Institute, NY. His teachings and approach to sound healing made an everlasting impression on me. The tuning forks he created are master quality, and he offers lots of practical information on how to use them on his website.
