Harmony Handpan Phoenix Steel D Kurd 10: Handmade handpan with 10 tone fields D3/ A3, Bb3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4, C5 incl. padded bag.

The Handpan is an absolutely beginner-friendly instrument where percussion and melody come together. Playing the handpan creates soothing, spherical and long-lasting soundscapes that completely captivate both the player and the listener. Neither previous experience nor knowledge of music theory is necessary, because with the Handpan all tone fields lie on a fixed scale. It is not possible to strike “wrong” sounding notes on most models.

Therefore, when playing, you can completely follow your own intuition and lose yourself in mysterious, dreamy melodies after a very short time.

Sela Harmony Phoenix Steel Handpans are handmade and consist of a special, very stable stainless steel. Their sustain is between handpans made of nitrided steel (Melody and Harmony series) and models made of stainless steel (Harmony Stainless Steel and Majesty). This particularly well-balanced sustain and warm, controlled sound make Phoenix Steel handpans true all-rounders that can be played slowly and meditatively as well as quickly and percussively. They thus offer the best of both worlds and are also comparatively easy to care for, as the steel alloy is well protected against external influences such as hand sweat and dirt. During manufacturing, our Phoenix Steel models are given a beautiful bronze-colored finish.

Unlike other Sela handpans, the new Harmony Phoenix Steel Handpans have ten tone fields instead of the usual nine. This offers even more possibilities for playing a wide variety of melodies. The D Kurd tuning (fundamental frequency 440 Hz) is one of our best-selling scales. The central note in the middle of the handpan is D3, around it are arranged in a circle the notes A3, Bb3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4 and C5. Practical: An overview of the scale with the individual tone fields is lasered onto the underside of the Handpan. Due to its bright sounding D minor scale, this handpan is suitable for spiritual activities such as yoga, meditation and sound baths as well as for playing together with other handpans or other instruments such as tongue drums, guitar or percussion.

Each Sela Handpan comes with a bag made of tear-resistant nylon fabric, which provides optimal protection during transport thanks to its good lining. It can be carried either by hand using the two handles or comfortably as a backpack thanks to adjustable shoulder straps. A practical outer compartment offers enough space for small accessories such as a metronome.
