The monochord was a single string instrument thought to have been created for the purpose of analyzing the mathematical properties of pitch. It is said to have been used by Pythagoras, circa 582 B.C., to determine the common scales used in Western music. Later, medieval monks used monochords to give starting pitches to their choirs.
