Hammacher Schlemmer has a new item the Acoustic Resonance Massage Chair. Here, take a look.
See, it has piano strings running down the back side of the chair.
This is the acoustic chair that provides a resonant, vibrating massage that soothes and relaxes the upper and lower back, thighs–even the palms of your hands–when the 60 brass strings integrated into its seat back are strummed. Made in Germany and inspired by Medieval Scandinavian cradles that had strings on the bottom for soothing infants, the chair is crafted from 3/4″ thick beech ply sanded smooth and finished in natural wood oil. Played by another while you sit comfortably, the 30 plain and 30 wound piano strings span the entire vertical length of the 38 1/2″ backrest and are uncoated for clear, unmuffled sound while generating the frequencies ideal for relaxing acoustic massage.
Well, OK it all sounds good; made in Germany, inspired by Medieval Scandinavian cradles, thick beech ply sanded smooth and finished in natural wood oil. But, you have to have a chair strummer to make it work.

The strings are tuned to B (can be tuned up two whole steps to D) with the plain, unwound strings tuned one octave higher than the wound strings, producing a rich, zither-like monochord that generates a relaxing drone.
Well, first off B to D is only a step and a half but, these guys aren’t theory comp. professors. At least you can experiment with alternate tunings if you get tired of the “monochord”.

Here is another picture of a young lady enjoying the Acoustic Resonance Massage Chair.
She seems to be digging it even without the strummer.
Oh yeah, by the way….

If you got that kind of dough for a chair, you can afford to hire a strummer. I’ll tell you what, one thing I have is strumming experience. Get in touch, we’ll talk.
