Ten tone fields you cannot go wrong on
The handpan - the lens-shaped metal instrument held in your lap - has become one of the best-loved melodic instruments of recent years, and for good reason: its tone fields are tuned to a single harmonious scale, so whatever order you strike them in with your fingertips, the result always blends beautifully. This version features ten tone fields, offering an even wider playground than the usual eight or nine notes.
D minor Amara tuning - soft and intimate
The tuning is D minor Amara with D in the middle: D / G, A, C, D, E, F, G, A, C. This scale has a gentle, slightly wistful character with long-sustaining notes - melodies ring back from the body of the instrument with an almost cathedral-like resonance. Its enchanting, soothing sound makes it popular for performance, meditation and therapeutic work alike.
Complete equipment included
The instrument comes with a cotton pouch, a transport backpack and a safety cover, so safe storage and carrying are taken care of. Weighing approx. 4.4 kg, it sits comfortably in your lap, on a stand, or can be played cross-legged.
Who is it for?
If you are a beginner, the handpan is one of the most rewarding choices: beautiful melodies emerge in the very first minutes, without sheet music or training. Experienced musicians will enjoy the rich improvisation possibilities of ten notes, while for sound therapists the long, gentle sustain is the strongest argument.
