Sela Percussion Harmony Handpan C# Kurd Stainless Steel With Padded Bag SELA PERCUSSION

The handpan is a beginner-friendly instrument where percussion and melody come together. Handpans are tuned to a fixed scale, making it impossible to hit a wrong note! Follow your intuition while playing to explore all sonic possibilities. With a bit of practice, more complicated rhythms, captivating chords, and two-part melodies become possible. A handpan is suitable as a solo instrument as well as an ensemble instrument.

Sela Harmony Stainless Steel Handpans are handmade, perfectly tuned, and feature a stainless steel alloy construction. Handpans made of stainless steel have a significantly longer sustain than models made of nitrated steel and are, therefore, particularly suitable for slow, relaxing, meditative playing. At the same time, they are low maintenance and well suited for beginners, as their quick, sensitive response requires less effort when playing. Sela Harmony Stainless Steel Handpans have a matte gold finish, which gives them an elegant, high-quality look. Sela offers the largest selection of different scales in this category.

The tuning C# Kurd (fundamental frequency 440 Hz) is a semitone lower than the popular D-Kurd scale. The central note in the middle of the handpan is C#3, with the notes G#3, A3, B3, C#4, D#4, E4, F#4, and G#4 arranged in a circle around it. Due to its lower tuning, the C# Kurd sounds more meditative and sustaining than the best-selling D Kurd and D Amara models. An overview of the scale with the individual tone fields is lasered onto the underside of the handpan.

Each Sela handpan includes a bag made of tear-resistant nylon fabric, which ensures optimal protection during transport. It can be carried comfortably by hand using the two handles or as a backpack using the adjustable shoulder straps. A practical outer compartment offers enough space for small accessories such as a metronome.
